Radiologic Technologist Hospital & Health Care ### "Nova Pacs Review for a smaller hospital" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 August 17, 2023 I have used Nova RIS for over 8 years, and we rarely have any issues with the system. The RIS system is easy to use and learn even if you are a brand-new technologist and have never used any PACS OR RIS system before. The customer service is fantastic they are always helpful whenever we have an issue and are fast at getting it resolved. Pros Nova RIS is very easy to use and also to learn. I have trained many other technologists to use it and they all say how it is a lot easier to use then other systems they have used prior. Then radiologist also really like the system and we hardly ever have any problems. Cons The one thing that I wish could be a little different would be that when we have a study the description goes in one place but there is another place that it needs to be so that the description will show up on the patients report so we always have to copy and paste the description. Sometimes that is time consuming when you have a patient with multiple exams. Reasons for choosing Nova RIS As far as I know they choose NOVA RIS because it had been recommended to them from the service company, they were buying the new Radiology equipment from.

It has served us well for our smaller rural hospitals." 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 September 22, 2022 NovaPACS/NovaRIS have served us well for about 16 years. The software needs maintenance and bug removal but their support is second to none. Pros The image caching is implemented better than any competitive product that we have tested. Cons The stability of NovaPACS/NovaRIS is not at the level of the other PACS system we use(McKesson/Change). We also had communication/support problems between Utah-based corporate Novarad and the Georgia-based Novarad South. Reasons for choosing Nova RIS Novarad was the only product that met our needs..and it was affordable.

Director of Imaging Services Hospital & Health Care ### "NovaRIS" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 21, 2022 NovaRIS is very easy to use. For example, report distribution was a difficult task back in the day, but with the auto-fax feature the immediate dissemination of reports is a now "set it and forget it" function. Pros Very user-friendly. NovaRIS was installed many years ago and has assisted our facility with patient scheduling and report sharing, although there's more functionality available, if needed. The web image viewer allows physicians to access imaging media on desktop or mobile devices which is also very user friendly. Overall, a great product! Cons We have no current complaints about NovaRIS. Reasons for choosing Nova RIS We chose NovaRad and their PACS and RIS products during their infancy stage back in 2008 and felt we were getting more value for our money than any of the other systems out there. We were not wrong and have had nothing but a positive experience with NovaRad for over 14 years now.

Imaging Systems Analyst Hospital & Health Care ### "NovaRIS user review" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 June 21, 2022 Pros Although we do not use NovaRIS as our ordering and billing system, NovaRIS helped me troubleshoot orders: merging studies and reconciling reports, troubleshoot HL7 issues using the event and audit logs in the admin console, and create various management reports. Cons I would like the ability to manage and customize changes to the physician database. Right now, if I wanted to change the reporting distribution for all physicians, I need to go to each to make the modification.

Imaging Manager Hospital & Health Care ### "Good and getting better!" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 April 11, 2022 Overall, NovaRIS has been good. Tech support has been very helpful and resolved some minor glitches. The features and functionality are good and with time they will get better to become great. Pros Nova RIS is great for managing a schedule and report distribution. The management reports are helpful for monthly results. Customer service is fantastic. They have always been quick to respond and resolve any issues. Cons There are a few features that can be improved. For example, the eForms feature allows patients to leave important fields blank and still submit the form. The color code management also doesn’t save new colors selected. Lastly, the report distribution tab doesn’t display patient name, which makes it tricky to know what report belongs to who.
