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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for switching to Nova RIS I left the hospital I was at. --- ### NovaRIS - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Brandon M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### Vendor response Thank you for the review, Brandon. We are so glad that you have had a positive experience with Nova RIS. Here at Novarad, we focus on making sure every product is user-friendly. We appreciate you. Replied September 2022 --- ### Long time user of NovaPACS and NovaRIS. It has served us well for our smaller rural hospitals. - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Reo G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: September 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. NovaPACS/NovaRIS have served us well for about 16 years. The software needs maintenance and bug removal but their support is second to none. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for switching to Nova RIS Novarad's product enabled us to read studies from our clients in rural, low-bandwidth areas and to read them from a single worklist. It was the only product, at the time, that could do this reliably. #### Vendor response Thank you for the feedback, Reo. We will pass this along to our support team and learn from this experience. Thank you for choosing Novarad! We are so glad you find our image caching user friendly!!

Replied August 2022 --- ### Easy to Use & Good value for Costs - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chris H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Hospital & Health Care - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall Nova RIS has helped make sure our billing lines up with exams when submitted to insurances. Nova RIS also has been very helpful in report running with the ability to see physicians ordering usage. As a Director its nice to be able to see who is ordering what and who is not order as much. These reports enable me to speak to my providers to make sure we are providing for their imaging needs or if I need to address any issues for them. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Nova RIS is very user friendly and offers a good range of adaptability. The System can be used for scheduling purposes as well for your imaging department. The System works really good with our HIM system. #### Cons The one thing that I wish the software offered was the ability to remove physicians as need be. We have several physicians that have long retired, but the Nova RIS System will not let you remove any physician. #### Vendor response Thank you for the feedback, Chris! We are so glad that your facility has been able to benefit from Nova RIS. We appreciate you!

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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### 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. #### Vendor response Thank you for the review, Colby! We are so glad that your facility has had good experiences with Novarad's customer service. Thank you for being a valued customer!

Right now, if I wanted to change the reporting distribution for all physicians, I need to go to each to make the modification. #### Vendor response Thank you for the review, Rudy.
