Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapters 1, 2 and 3 of the textbook on the four elements of financial management. Additionally, you will need to read the  web page and review the  website.

In your initial post, describe a real-world example of each element by applying it to the operations or planning of a business where you have worked. Next, choose one of the elements and give an example of how you would apply it as the manager for a health care facility (i.e., primary care physician’s practice, a specialty practice, long-term care, clinic, hospital, etc.).

Your initial post should be between 250 and 300 words and cite the textbook and/or the required resources listed/linked in the directions using APA format as outlined in the ’s  resource.
