How about setting automated recurring payment plans so you are not chasing “false promises”?<br />We will develop a bill payment system via the web: <br />• allows customers to pay their bills using credit card, debit card or check<br />• allows customer or your staff to schedule a single payment and/or recurring<br />• may be customized to automatically update the patient record in the PMSMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06325903597254120306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20502088.post-56975186317117414732008-03-10T20:48:00.000-04:002008-03-10T20:48:00.000-04:00There is an excellent cautionary tale about perfec...There is an excellent cautionary tale about perfect being the enemy of good.

That is such a problem...Best is the enemy of good. That is such a problem for so many people. That is the essence of the consumer mindset that advertising tries to ingrain in everyone, abandon and discard that which is good for something that is better. Even if it isn’t better. <BR/><BR/>When that intersects with the “grass is always greener” phenomena in relationships, people can always be striving for something perfect they will never encounter. <BR/><BR/>In engineering there is the expression “Good, Fast, Cheap: pick any two”. Engineers understand and make explicit the immutable trade-off between quality, timing and cost. <BR/><BR/>A rule of thumb is that one can cut the time of an engineering project in half, if one increases the cost by a factor of 10. But this can only be done once. There are some things that cannot be accelerated with more resources. No matter how many you assign to the task, it still takes 9 months for a baby to come to term. <BR/><BR/>I think some of the problems in medicine are from people (not MDs generally) trying to break the Good, Fast, Cheap paradigm.daedalus2uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10416564922288784455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20502088.post-63608284290345111672008-03-09T16:28:00.000-04:002008-03-09T16:28:00.000-04:00i'm a lawyer, so i'll call it: it's likely (and m...i'm a lawyer, so i'll call it: it's likely (and more than likely) that you'll pass. thinking good thoughts for you here in the smallish state. <BR/><BR/>your fan,<BR/><BR/>gt.GirlTuesdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03776192560948252103noreply@blogger.com
