Mississippi community hospital chooses NovaRad RIS, PACS

Jefferson Davis Community Hospital in Prentiss, Miss., has selected RIS and PACS turnkey systems from NovaRad.

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 American Fork, Utah-based 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.
