About this Unit
The health sector must account for use of resources and ensure equity and efficiency from the cost centre level up. Managers need to consider the financial implications of decisions and are expected to understand and act on accounting information to stay on budget. This unit critically reviews the role of financing in health services. Students will focus on the use of financial tools and strategies in the day to day management of health care units.
