Kentucky hospital selects NovaRad RIS, PACS

Fleming County Hospital in Flemingsburg, Ky., has selected NovaRad’s NovaRIS and NovaPACS for its diagnostic imaging department.

NovaRIS and NovaPACS will be implemented for the hospital’s imaging procedures including diagnostic radiology, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, CT scans, mammography and MRI, the American Fork, Utah-based NovaRad said.

NovaPACS is NovaRad’s enterprise-level PACS offering image retrieval, full-feature viewer with intuitive interface and seven-year, on-site archive with off-site emergency backup. Full-screen viewing, menus and mouse-based functions are available to help referring physicians’ access images and reports from any computer, according to the company.

NovaRIS is a 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 retrieval of images and information from web-enabled computers, NovaRad said.
