Radiology information systems provider AbbaDox is partnering with Radiology Imaging Associates, unifying the radiology operation management systems at the imaging chain’s 17 locations in Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Through the adoption of AbbaDox’s CareFlow RIS platform, Radiology Imaging Associates brings patient throughput and scheduling, including referrals, to a single system that supports the totality of patient imaging workflows at all locations.
“Our journey towards modern patient engagement has been hindered by reliance on outdated systems requiring third-party add-ons, leading to operational bottlenecks and technological setbacks,” Jon Houghton, CIO of Radiology Imaging Associates said in a statement. “The shift to AbbaDox represents our commitment to cutting-edge technology, stability and efficiency, dramatically enhancing our service delivery to patients and referrers alike.”
The shift is a full upgrade for Radiology Imaging Associates, as it replaces existing systems for internal operations and patient communications. CareFlow specializes in breast and lung health, prioritizing patient scans based on the need to improve care quality. The platform also has onboard AI to aid in follow-up care recommendations for at-risk patients or those with findings that require further care from a radiologist.
The chain of imaging centers produces 600,000 patient scans each year.
The change at Radiology Imaging Associates was modeled after competitor Lake Medical Imaging’s move to CareFlow, which brought improved operational efficiency and higher patient satisfaction scores to the practice, measured in cost savings and a reduction in patient wait times.
