Indian hospital selects NovaRad RIS, PACS

Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre, a Harvard Medical International associated-institution in Chennai, India, has selected NovaRad’s NovaRIS and NovaPACS.

The hospital is migrating from its existing paper and film environment to PACS.

NovaRad said its PACS offers image retrieval, full-feature viewer with intuitive interface, and seven-year, on-site archive with off-site emergency backup. The company said its web-based, open standards RIS generates reports, analyzes exams, measures profitability and facilitates paperless management of patient records.
