Episode context

The Challenge: Waiting on Support for Every Little Change

As Paul explains, centers used to send support a stream of tickets to configure or change small day-to-day settings, from appointment statuses to reading physicians to room schedules.

That created cost, delay, and a support team stuck on small nuances instead of larger issues.

Onboarding a new RIS was also slow, sometimes taking months, because data migration and setup depended on the vendor.

The Solution: Giving Autonomy Back to Clients

In this episode of Keeping Up With AbbaDox, Data Analyst Paul Hoffman joins host Pierre-Antoine Tricen to demo the settings that let imaging centers configure CareFlow RIS around their own workflows.

AbbaDox reversed the old model by putting the tools in the client’s hands, with around 100 applications an admin can use to tweak settings without contacting support or IT.

What you stop waiting for
“These settings allow the imaging center to set up and customise the system themselves.”

The point is removing the support ticket from routine change. Clients import their own data from CSV, build hierarchical schedules instead of flat per-room hours, set resource rules for weight, height and special needs, and word their own SMS dialogues. AbbaDox maintains around 80 to 100 configuration apps and the number keeps growing, each one a thing you no longer raise a ticket for.

Real Results for Imaging Centers

Reduced vendor dependency frees internal resources to focus on strategic initiatives and growth.

For your team

Setup time cut in half

Self-service configuration reduced setup time by about 50%, easing the pain of transition.

For your patients

40% fewer support tickets

With clients handling their own configuration, internal support tickets dropped by about 40%, lowering cost.

For your center

Faster onboarding

Bulk import brought onboarding down from months to roughly one to three months depending on data volume, so clients use CareFlow right out of the gate.

For your leadership

IT freed for strategic work

High adoption, some clients configure many times a day, lets IT admins focus on strategic tasks instead of routine changes.

Across the whole operation

For the organization

Handing over configuration changes the economics of running a RIS.
