Case Study: How Yabaja Reduced Report Turnaround from Days to Hours with Davix PACS/RIS

Centro de Diagnostico Yabaja is a diagnostic imaging center and clinical laboratory in Huancayo, Peru. It operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a team of specialized radiologists providing ultrasound, X-ray, CT scan, and laboratory services.

Its general manager, Yamil Cabrera, was looking for a solution that would transform the way they managed imaging studies — and he found it in Davix.

The Client

The Challenge

Before Davix, Yabaja faced the typical challenges of a growing diagnostic center:

1. Slow report delivery: Radiology reports took days to reach the patient. In a center that operates 24/7, this created bottlenecks and a backlog of pending studies.

2. Manual study management: Without a centralized PACS system, DICOM images were stored locally on each machine. Finding a previous study required a manual search.

3. No remote access for patients: Patients had to physically return to the center to pick up their results. In a city like Huancayo, where many patients travel from remote districts, this was a real problem.

4. Fragmented coordination between radiologists: With multiple radiologists working around the clock in shifts, there was no efficient way to share studies or request second opinions in real time.

5. Disconnected laboratory: Clinical tests were managed in a separate system, with no integration with the same patient's imaging studies.

The Solution: Davix PACS/RIS + LIS

Yabaja implemented two Davix modules:

PACS/RIS — Imaging and Diagnostics System

• Centralized cloud storage: All DICOM images (ultrasound, X-ray, CT scans) are automatically stored in the Davix cloud. No local servers, no risk of data loss.
• Smart worklist: Radiologists automatically receive their assigned studies, with prioritization and status tracking for each one.
• Digital reports with electronic signature: Radiologists draft and sign reports from any device. The report becomes available immediately.
• Patient portal: Patients access their results and images from their mobile phone, without needing to return to the center.
• Web DICOM viewer: Medical image visualization directly in the browser, with measurement and comparison tools.

LIS — Laboratory Information System

• Sample management: Complete traceability from sample collection to final result.
• Integrated results: Laboratory tests are linked to the patient's record, alongside their diagnostic images.
• Digital delivery: Lab results are also available through the patient portal.

The Results

According to Yamil Cabrera, the changes were immediate and measurable:

Report turnaround: from days to hours

"Ahora los informes se entregan en horas, no dias." (Now reports are delivered in hours, not days.)

With Davix PACS/RIS's digital workflow, the study is captured, assigned to a radiologist, reported, and delivered to the patient — all on the same day. The bottleneck of pending reports disappeared.

Mobile access for patients

"Los pacientes acceden desde su celular." (Patients access everything from their mobile phone.)

Yabaja's patients no longer need to return to the center to pick up results. From their phone, they can access:

• DICOM images (ultrasound, X-ray, CT scans)
• Signed radiology reports
• Laboratory results

This is especially valuable for patients from remote districts outside Huancayo who previously had to make a second trip just to pick up a report.

Operational efficiency

"La eficiencia ha mejorado notablemente, asi como la percepcion del servicio por parte del paciente." (Efficiency has improved remarkably, as has the patient's perception of the service.)

Yabaja's team now handles more studies with less friction. Radiologists report from anywhere, administrative staff have full visibility into the workflow, and patients perceive a modern, responsive service.

Client Testimonial

"Con Davix transformamos la forma en que gestionamos estudios. Ahora los informes se entregan en horas, no dias, y los pacientes acceden desde su celular. La eficiencia ha mejorado notablemente, asi como la percepcion del servicio por parte del paciente."

Davix Modules Used

Estimated monthly investment: from S/.775/month (~$242 USD) — a fraction of what a traditional on-premise PACS would cost, which typically requires $15,000-$50,000 USD in upfront investment plus ongoing maintenance.

Does Your Diagnostic Center Face the Same Challenges?

If you run a diagnostic imaging center or laboratory and recognize these problems — slow reports, patients who have to return to collect results, images scattered across local machines — Davix can help.

• No upfront investment: No servers or infrastructure needed. Everything is in the cloud.
• Up and running in days, not months: Davix PACS/RIS implementation is fast because there is no hardware to install.
• Grows with you: Start with PACS/RIS and add LIS, HIS, electronic signature, or other modules whenever you need them.
