Washington state centers deploy NovaPACS

Three Washington-based facilities have installed NovaRad radiology software systems, including NovaPACS, NovaRIS and ClinicPACS.

NovaPACS features a radiologist viewer, technologist workstation, enterprise archive manager and workflow tracking, while ClinicPACS is an integrated orthopedic trauma template for pre-operative planning. American Fork, Utah-based Novarad provides the systems on a subscription basis, which include dictation, image capture, mammography tracking, orthopedic, operating room and cardiology systems.

The three medical centers purchasing the systems are Skyline Hospital in White Salmon, Sound Medical Imaging in Puyallup and Tri-City Regional Surgery Center in Richland.
