Kernodle Clinic, a multi-specialty group practice, located in Burlington, N.C., selected Novarad's NovaRIS and NovaPACS technologies to support its on-site radiology department. Novarad South, a Novarad distributor, facilitated the contract. Decision makers at Kernodle Clinic found NovaRIS and NovaPACS to be the best fit because the technologies are web-based, which eases scheduling and image management between the clinic's four locations.

"Having a web-based PACS offers a significant benefit to rural clinics and hospitals as interpreting physicians have the freedom to access images anytime and from any location, helping the facilities to improve speed of reading and patient care," said Paul Shumway, Novarad vice president.

NovaPACS is Novarad's complete, turnkey PACS offering fast image retrieval, full-feature viewer with intuitive interface, and 7-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. To complement NovaPACS, Novarad offers NovaRIS. Developed on the same platform as NovaPACS, NovaRIS generates reports, measures profitability and facilitates paperless management of patient records. Novarad's NovaRIS received the highest overall performance score in the RIS community hospital market segment of the 2009 KLAS "The Revival of RIS" report and "Category Leader" designation in the Community Radiology category of the 2008 "Top 20 Best in KLAS Awards: Software & Professional Services" released in December, see www.KLASresearch.com.
