"To improve imaging and workflow, Northcrest Medical Center in Springville, Tenn. has chosen to replace its existing PACS with NovaPACS from Novarad Corporation. In addition, Northcrest is also installing NovaRIS to help streamline the management of its patient records.

NovaPACS is Novarad's PACS offering fast image retrieval, full-feature viewer with intuitive interface, and seven-year on-site archive with off site emergency back up. Full screen viewing, easy to use menus and mouse-based functions are available to help enhance efficiency and referring physicians have complete access to images and reports from any computer.

NovaRIS is Novarad's Web-based, open standards RIS that generates reports, analyzes exams, measures profitability and facilitates paperless management of patient records. NovaRIS is developed on the same platform as NovaPACS. Together, the systems enable fast retrieval of images and information from any web-enabled computer.

"To improve efficiencies and workflow, hospitals and clinics of all sizes are seeking replacement systems for their current PACS and RIS technologies. Of additional consideration is selecting a system that can be installed quickly and with minimal disruption," said Paul Shumway, Novarad Corporation Vice President. "We understand that there is no room for downtime, which is why we have developed a process to complete installation in days - not months. It is rewarding to have been selected by Northcrest and we look forward to working with them to accomplish their goal of achieving a more productive, efficient facility."
