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’s onsite training, web-based training and tips-training through the NovaNews monthly newsletter will facilitate the transition to the new systems for radiologists and front office staff, according to the American Fork, Utah-based company.
 
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.
