What "older and larger" company do you have in mind? What ever you do, never choose CGM! They wouldn't even be able to spell "test" if their live depended on it! Nothing new ever works, like at all. Everything older needs at least one or two server restarts a day!

medavis for example.

I know CGM from medico...their KIS is a nightmare. We have to communicate with it in hospitals. What an ugly monster and somehow no hospital IT is able to admin it properly.

Wow, didn't expect to see medavis mentioned here on HN. I'm currently writing Data Warehouse software (and more) interfacing with their RIS. However, I don't really know what their testing practices are.

Which of their products are you considering?

Right now we switched back from DoctoLib to booking4med but we're using all kinds of RIS modules here.

What Data Warehouse software do you write for RIS? Maybe I can use it :D

...and yeah Radiology communities are rare. I'm still looking for one...if I have time.

Interesting! From where I'm sitting DoctoLib seems to win over the market.

The DWH software writes snapshots of db_direct into a temporal DB (implemented in Postgres using multiranges) and then uses dbt to transform the data into usable tables. Right now, I use Power BI for visualisation and reporting.

Yes they are since Corona unfortunately.

However it's good for usual Doctors offices. It's terrible for Radiology Planning. Also many institutions just put a link to their homepage or phone number in there. This way they're on DL but don't have to deal with the calendar.
