NovaRad's NovaPACS
American Fork, Utah - NovaRad Corporation recently signed contracts with four hospitals and a diagnostic center in Louisiana to install NovaPACS, bringing the total number of Louisiana facilities using the system for image management to 10.
The new facilities include:
- 52-bed West Carroll Memorial Hospital in Oak Grove
- 57-bed Franklin Medical Center in Winnsboro (facilitated by iPro)
- 153-bed Teche Regional Medical Center in Morgan City
- 159-bed Minden Medical Center in Minden
- Laborde Diagnostics, a full-service outpatient radiology center in Lafayette
NovaPACS is suited for any size facility, from hospitals with fewer than 10 to more than 500 beds and single-site to multi-site freestanding imaging centers.
"We're excited to see continued growth in Louisiana," said Paul Shumway, senior vice president at NovaRad. "We've been helping radiology departments easily go film-less with our full-featured PACS and low upfront costs, and as their departments grow NovaPACS will be able to grow with them."
NovaPACS is a complete, enterprise-level PACS offering fast image retrieval, full-feature viewer with intuitive interface, and 7-year on-site archive with off site emergency back up. Full screen viewing, easy to use menus and mouse-based functions are available to help enhance efficiency and referring physicians have complete access to images and reports from any computer.
