Most physicians don't use requests for proposals (RFPs) when selecting software, but doing so has its advantages, including: Improving a practice's ability to compare vendors and place them in a competitive situation. Discovering the practice's deficiencies and strengths through the process of writing an RFP. Slowing down the buying process and helping to avoid buying on impulse.
