New 7.1 Version Offers Enhanced Features and Functions to Help Improve Efficiencies to Optimize Workflow Productivity
American Fork, Utah Nov. 03, 2008 - With advancements including rapid scroll speeds, series hanging protocols, rapid viewing of huge data sets, new transcription module, floor - ER - OP scheduler, and preliminary listening of reports by referring physicians, Novarad's NovaRIS/NovaPACS 7.1 combined radiology system is now available to help hospitals, imaging centers and clinics improve reading and scheduling efficiencies to increase productivity.
"This release represents the most significant advancement in our radiology systems since our founding," said Tyler Harris, director of implementation at Novarad Corporation. "Combining our unmatched customizability with these features and deep functionality in this latest version truly makes NovaRIS/PACS the premier product available today."
The new release includes a number of new hanging protocol automated functions including automatic:
Comparative and single study display enabling two different hanging protocols for any study when it is being viewed alone or with another comparative study.
Series start in a cine, MPR or other advanced format.
Study duplication to ease manipulation and viewing in different windows or levels.
The combined RIS/PACS system is web-based and runs on the same open source platform to ensure seamless integration and help speed installation. The combined system is also available in Spanish and through an ASP model.
Additional enhancements in this latest version include:
* Customizable series display settings enable the radiologist to designate a step-by-step image workflow according to their reading preference.
* Easy click and re-click process that enables viewing of one series in full screen and then returning back to view the hanging protocol that was last used.
* New controls for faster scrolling speeds and dexterity for larger image count studies.
* Series notifiers on thumbnails to indicate what studies are open.
* Zoom to Fill and Zoom to Fill options enabling images to occupy the entire available viewing area.
* New functionality for technologists to QC studies before making them available to the radiologist.
"Hospitals, imaging centers and clinics contend with the challenge of balancing the pressures of increasing productivity and workflow while being conscious of the bottom line," said Harris. "Our radiology systems are designed to provide the advanced functionality to make image reading fast and efficient while simplifying the management of scheduling, billing and tracking tasks - while also being affordable."
NovaPACS, is a 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. Combined with NovaPACS is NovaRIS, the administrative solution that generates reports, measures profitability and facilitates paperless management of patient records.
