Use an All-In-One Workstation for Greater Efficiency

Solution from Novarad: NovaPACS

NovaPACS is a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) that enables a more ergonomic workflow to read and compare images without having to move between workstations or physical locations.

How NovaPACS increases profits:

  • Streamlined PACS workflow from the all-in-one workstation enables physicians to view a wide range of studies (e.g., X-ray, MRI, CT, mammography, etc.) for greater efficiency and speed.
  • Centralized archiving of images in the cloud means that data is always accessible without the need for manual backups.
  • Advanced image processing and manipulation means that physicians can provide patients with more accurate image readings than other platforms.
  • Burnout is reduced for physicians using NovaPACS, so they can effectively focus on the most critical work without error.
  • Due to the customizability of NovaPACS, growing practices can scale their workflows to meet increasing patient demand.
  • NovaPACS is web-based, enabling radiologists to work where, when, and how they want without being geographically bound to one area.

Modernize the Way That Images are Shared

Solution from Novarad: CryptoChart

CryptoChart is a medical information-sharing product that enables physicians to share medical images and medical chart information instantly with a highly encrypted QR code.

How CryptoChart increases profits:

  • Easily scannable QR codes do away with burning CDs, verifying logins, or memorizing passwords, saving time and money in the process.
  • Patients receive better and faster ways to receive, share, and manage their own health information.
  • Physicians gain more referrals from other physicians, which provides a more efficient means of sharing patient information.
  • There’s a reduced risk of HIPAA violations and cyberattacks due to CryptoChart’s secure, web-based viewer.
  • CryptoChart is intuitive and simple to set up, reducing the burden of IT staff and training of physicians.
  • Less than $1 per study means greater overall profits.

Optimize Workflows with Modernized RIS

Solution from Novarad: Nova RIS

Novarad’s radiology information system (RIS) is a networked software system that enables hospitals, clinics, and imaging centers to optimize workflows through automation, customized templates, and more.

How Novarad RIS increases profits:

  • Nova RIS provides referring physicians with easy and highly secure access to images, productivity tools, analytics, modernized image sharing, and much more.
  • It improves the overall patient experience by managing their journey (from self-scheduling to report distribution, follow-ups, and more). This level of care leads to a better reputation among patients and referring physicians.
  • The automation of repetitive tasks (e.g., creating reports) frees up staff and physicians to devote their time to more critical, high-value tasks.
  • Automatic scheduling and text-based reminders for patients reduce the number of delays and no-shows that typically bog down practices.
  • Unnecessary paperwork is eliminated, creating a more manageable and efficient workplace.
  • Human errors are significantly reduced for greater accountability and less overall liability.
