Business Fundamentals for the Rehabilitation Professional

A manual intended to answer all of the questions necessary to manage a health-care practice successfully.

Designed to integrate small business guidelines with health-care operations, management and regulations, the text should be suitable for rehabilitation professionals and entrepreneurs interested in starting up or expanding existing practices.

The work aims to answer the "what, where, how and when" questions of transforming a health-care practice into a successful business.

Worksheets and templates are utilized to prepare readers in identifying emerging trends, analysing existing opportunities, and developing existing programmes.

Health-care professionals should learn how to create a corporate vision, write a mission statement, outline a marketing plan, and manage their finances all within the understanding of their scope of practice; local, state and federal regulations; and small business guidelines.

Interactive tools and scenarios are included at the end of each chapter to scale the reader's learning objectives against actual business scenarios. Input from experienced health-care professionals is also included to reinforce important aspects in properly executing a business strategy.
