Lake Medical Imaging and AbbaDox Win Practice Innovation Award

The Practice Innovation Award celebrates innovative solutions that enable radiology practices to thrive. Lake Medical Imaging, in partnership with AbbaDox, implemented the AbbaDox RIS and workflow platform, resulting in significant improvements in patient registration times and the overall patient experience.

Michael Rosa, Director of IT for Lake Medical Imaging, praised the partnership: "The steadfast guidance and meticulous project management by AbbaDox ensured the implementation journey was a resounding success." The partnership yielded impressive results, including:

  • Scheduling Efficiency: Addressed a critical backlog of 10,000 patients, achieving a 24-hour turnaround for setting appointments—a drastic improvement from weeks-long waits, reducing the backlog by 86%.
  • Operational Efficiency: Reduced manual processing of incoming orders, minimizing duplicated efforts and streamlining operations.
  • Patient and Staff Satisfaction: Automated reminders and enhanced patient engagement processes saved considerable time, reflected in patient reviews improving from an average of 2.1/5 to 4.8/5 on Google within six months of going live.
  • Technology Upgrade: Transition to the AbbaDox RIS system enhanced functionality, efficiency, and access to medical records, allowing patients to access their images online.
  • Registration Time: Reduced patient registration time by 60%, significantly improving the patient intake process.
  • Call Time Reduction: Automated reminders and streamlined interfaces reduced manual call times by over 65%.
