Novarad extends its installation base in Idaho by adding four new contracts

Novarad is again extending its installation base in Idaho, adding four new contracts with community hospitals and radiology centers.

The facilities include:

• Boise Radiology Group in Boise
• Cascade Medical Center in Cascade
• Gooding County Memorial Hospital in Gooding. The hospital also purchased Novarad's NovaRIS radiology information system, and
• Idaho Sports Medicine Institute in Boise

Novarad's radiology technologies were selected by the facilities because they can be installed and live in less than four weeks and they are affordable, because they are available through a subscription-pricing model. The turnkey PACS include CR, dictation, scheduling, image capture, orthopedic MIP/MPR, cardio viewers, mammography tracking, and regular software and hardware upgrades at no additional cost.

"We have had a strong presence in Idaho for many years and are pleased to have earned the confidence of these latest facilities," said Paul Shumway, Novarad Corporation vice president. "With the NovaCentral support "command center" for real-time remote monitoring of the systems, the facilities can be assured of consistent, high performance for their systems to deliver improved reading and workflow for interpreting physicians and provide enhanced service for their patients."

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 receives the highest overall performance score in the RIS community hospital market segment of the 2009 KLAS "The Revival of RIS" report.
