Novarad adding three new PACS contracts with community hospitals and clinics

Novarad is again expanding its installation base in Nebraska, adding three new PACS contracts with community hospitals and clinics. These latest facilities bring the total number of hospitals, clinics and radiology centers in Nebraska using Novarad's NovaPACS and NovaRIS technologies to 21.The facilities include: - Perkins County Health Services in Grant - Women's Clinic of Lincoln - Brown County Hospital in Ainsworth

Brown's Medical Imaging, a system integrator and Novarad distributor located in Nebraska, facilitated the contract with the facilities.

The facilities selected NovaPACS because it offered a complete PACS at an affordable price. NovaPACS is suited for any size facility, from hospitals with fewer than 10 to more than 500 beds and single-site to multi-site freestanding imaging centers.

"We have built our reputation on providing medical centers and facilities with a PACS that is complete, scalable and affordable, and it is rewarding to have been selected by these facilities based on these factors," said Paul Shumway, vice president at Novarad.

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.
