Mississippi hospital chooses NovaRad PACS, RIS

Leake Memorial Hospital in Carthage, Miss., has selected NovaRad’s NovaRIS and NovaPACS technologies.

iPro, a NovaRad distributor, facilitated the contract with Leake Memorial Hospital, according to the American Fork, Utah-based 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, NovaRad said.
 
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, the company said.

Leake Memorial, a county-owned facility, has a total of 42 certified beds.
