Hint; It’s not all about finance.    Insights into Drew’s upcoming book, ‘’It’s Nobody’s Money’’, ‘’The bottom line is, you have to treat the money like it’s your own … that means every director, every department. … you have to get ‘’replacement’’ out of your vocabulary.’’   How your health system can benefit from a performance engineer – and how benchmarking against your own hospital can impact your bottom line.    The need to think differently, and Drew’s ultimate goal for healthcare finance, ‘’I want to make finance a non-threatening term in a healthcare organization.
