The Adviser's Guide to Healthcare

The Adviser’s Guide to Healthcare is a comprehensive resource and reference guide for professionals seeking a working knowledge of the factors involved in consulting with and valuing healthcare practices.

Developed by one of the foremost consultants in the healthcare industry, Robert James Cimasi, the Guide is founded on his seasoned knowledge and industry experience.

This 3-book suite is built around a new taxonomy framework for approaching economic value for the healthcare industry—the four pillars of reimbursement, regulation, competition, and technology.

The four pillars framework is carried throughout each of the three books that comprise this suite:

An Era of Reform: Provides in-depth discussions of the 2010 landmark legislation that has contributed to the current healthcare environment and the four pillars.
Professional Practices: Introduces different models of emerging healthcare practices and details industry subspecialties in terms of the four pillars framework.
Consulting with Professional Practices: Covers consulting related to healthcare practices and practice valuation strategies.

This suite is designed so that each of the three books stands alone and can be purchased individually for its specialized content.
