Texas hospital deploys NovaPACS for ER, healthcare services

Ward Memorial Hospital, a level IV trauma center in Monahans, Texas, is implementing NovaRad’s NovaPACS imaging technology for its emergency and healthcare services.

With NovaPACS, radiologists will now have remote access to images, NovaRad said.

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.

The new technology shows early potential to make a significant impact on imaging workflows and patient care.
