Abstract:
:Electronic billing systems make dermatology practices more efficient and productive. The decision to purchase and install such a system, however, involves a significant amount of time and is often accompanied by many mistakes. This article presents errors commonly made in the evaluation and purchase process and offers solutions. The success of dermatologists in the future will be partly determined by their effectiveness at managing information.
