For courses in EMS Finance

 

Emergency Medical Services: Finance is intended to be used as a resource for the application of finance principles in a managerial context. Written for non-financial managers, new managers, or professionals who aspire to become better managers, the text provides valuable finance knowledge that is easily incorporated into management processes. Encouraging critical-thinking skills, the text helps EMS managers gain an understanding of the “why’s” and “how’s” and the “rights” and “wrongs” of tracking finances through an EMS organization, develop a fiscally sound EMS program, and analyze business activity in order to inform sound decision making. The text is designed to be used in a formal collegiate setting or as a reference for managers needing to refresh their knowledge on financial activities of the EMS business.
