title: The new era CFO.
abstract: Once upon a time, hospital chief financial officers were almost exclusively number crunchers. Nowadays, the ideal CFO must have a broad understanding of all aspects of health care, including the clinical side, operations, and marketing. One prominent member of the profession puts it bluntly: "CFOs who are overly focused on finance won't succeed."
