consistently disappointing
Meh.
PROSEasy enough to use. Overall less costly than most PACs systems.
CONSPACs / RIS updates come with more downgrades with each update. Novarad doesn't seem to test or collaborate with anyone outside of Dr Gibbys center. Novarad as a company is worrying about too many things outside of their main product ie 3d goggles, xray panels, qr code readers. The pacs is subpar. The ris is generations behind everyone else at this point, all while costs increase and our reimbursement decreases. This company doesn't listen to feedback so why I am writing a review I don't know. Also, we can't accurately track data. Looking forward to implementing a new pacs/ris by 2022.
Vendor Response
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! It really is important to us and I will be having our Director of Product and VP of customer success reach out to you ASAP.

Nova Pacs -- a Reliable Imaging Solution
Nova Pacs has met all our needs for image storage and viewing. We are not a hospital or large clinic but we are a large private practice of 25 providers that offers many modalities to our patients. We perform CT, Mammography, General Xray, Bone Densitomerty, 2 D echo , Vascular Doppler, and General Ultrasound.Images are always available to take care of our patients, and the ability to use Nova Web has allowed our physicians to go over images with patients in their exam room.
PROSNova Pacs is a user friendly solution for storage of imaging and reports. The Pacs has many viewer options that can be tailored to a specific user. Retrieval of images is fast and the display is very adequate. User tools such as zoom and changing contrast and density of the image enhance viewing images. We used Nova Pacs for 10 years and then added CT imaging to our storage system. The transition was made seamlessly. Support is wonderful and resolves most issues in a timely manner
CONSWe currently use TSP to view our mammography studies. This can be cumbersome at times. Pulling up tomographic images is slow and sometimes freezes the system. All other studies including CT come up effortlessly.
Vendor Response
Thank you for the amazing review, Karen. We are so glad that your facility has had such a positive experience with NovaPACS. Thank you for choosing Novarad!!

Has come a long way
Novapacs has come a long way. While I think they have a ways to go before I could give them a perfect score they are definitely on track to that. Amazing improvement. They have really turned things around and should be proud of their hard work. I have gone from calling support daily to not being able to remember the last time I spoke to my support team. The support engineers are terrific. Definite improvement and I sincerely hope they know that their work is appreciated
PROSLook, layouts, previously observed functionality The support engineers are great!!
CONSIn the beginning the service / connectivity was not reliable. Communication about system wide issues was non existent, explanations were non existent, obvious lack of input from people with clinical experience / obviously only spoke to the doctors and not the technologists

Better than ImageLink PACS system
Overall, I'm happy with the system as a PACS Admin( I have only used one other system), but I'm constantly reminded by the radiologists that it's not as good as other systems they've used.
PROSAs a PACS admin, I'm able to do more of my own corrections than our previous PACS system.
CONSThe number one complaint, of the 8 radiologists that have used our NovaPACS system is that they can't seem to get the hanging protocols they way they want them; even after having the applications specialist onsite multiple times. The CD images are burned in a format that isn't compatible with a lot of other PACS systems and I get to hear those complaints regularly from other facilities.
Reason for choosing NovaPACS
I'm assuming the lower price, but that decision was made by our administration(CEO, CFO).
Reasons for switching to NovaPACS
The contracted radiologists were very unhappy with ImageLink PACS and demanded we find a different system.
Vendor Response
Hi John and thanks for giving us this great feedback. Someone from our customer success team will be reaching out to you (if they haven't already) to see what we can do about fixing that #1 complaint! WE appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback!

Best customer service in the industry.
I really appreciate the customer service. They provide the most responsive and professional helpdesk organization I have experienced in 40 years of IT. The PACS works across slower WAN links that simply won't work with other PACS products we use. (GE, Fuji and Mckesson/Change). Some of the product flaws are irritating to radiologists and are not fixed in a timely manner. At the hospital level, most of our clients do not see these flaws.
PROSWorks for our hospitals with less-than-optimal bandwidth available. It is priced very competively and they don't "nickel and dime" you after you make the purchase.
CONSThere are software bugs that persist across several versions.
Reason for choosing NovaPACS
Cost & bandwidth.
Reasons for switching to NovaPACS
Cost and the bandwidth available to our rural hospitals ruled out Fuji Synapse and Mckesson. IntelliRad was much more expensive.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review for us, Reo. We're glad you're having a great experience but I will be sure to pass along the feedback for improvement! Our support team will appreciate your thoughts on their organization!

Account receivable is what I recently been working with NovaRad and it has been taken care of right away.
PROSHL7 integration is one of the most important features I like with the product, it gives us seamless communication between different vendors enterprise. Orders and results are seamlessly crossing over without issues.
CONSMissing features: I would like to see in the future development the patient location in the study browser not just in RIS but in PACS study browser as well.Ease of use: Study browser ix exceptional, features that I like within the study browser is the right click on the patient list and you would be able to edit and customize how ever you want.

Indonesia User Review
Users are mostly happy with the features that NovaPACS had, but when they're having an issue that needs changes to the software, it's very difficult to do that and takes a lot of time or maybe no update about it.Many users also complain about the workflow when do reporting is too long.
PROSNovarad PACS almost have all features from modality.Integration with HIS is very good
CONSUser always complain about the ease to use especially when they want to do reporting, they compare Novarad PACS with other PACS that Novarad PACS need too much click to finished the report, while the others are simpler.Due to different time zone from Indonesia with US, we're having a hard time when we need immediate respond or support.

Dendy, thank you for the great review. We will pass this review on to our support team. We are so glad that the integration with your HIS is seamless. Thank you for choosing Novarad.

NovaPACS
It has been great overall! Easy to send over images from modality, upload images for comparisons, upload documents, and route to desired destination.
PROSThe initial setup was quick and easy. The support staff are extremely helpful with training and quickly available when a question arises. The software is user friendly for techs to upload images and route.
CONSSome browsers seem to work better than other browsers - which can be a source of frustration for doctors who are trying to view images. Training for other doctors usually needs to happen in order for them to comfortably use NovaPACS. There are a couple of functions that are not very intuitive the first time, however, support has always helped when there is a hang up.
Vendor Response
Thank you for the great review, Colby! We are so glad that NovaPACS has been user-friendly for your facility! We appreciate the feedback about different browsers. We are constantly updating and improving NovaPACS. Thank you for choosing Novarad!

Review of NovaPACS
NovaPACS has helped us maintain a good working relationship with our referring physicians, especially their ability to download the reports the same or next day for their patients. Any service issues that come up from time to time are handled very quickly, and it is always easy to get a hold of the technical staff by phone. I am not a technical person, and they explain things very well and are very patient.
PROSEasy to use - I work with the referring physicians who request access to our PACS, and it is easy to show them the functions and many of them have said how much easier it is to use than other PACS systems they have used. Our installations and upgrades by NovaPACS have been well planned and have gone according to plan. They are very detailed in letting us know the steps and execution is seamless.
CONSThe only complaint we get from our remote uses is that it is only used on Internet Explorer and many have Chrome as their default browser. We are not the only one that requires IE, however, and it is the large hospital integration that also uses IE, so it is not that big of a problem.
Reason for choosing NovaPACS
We chose NovaPACS on the recommendation of our Computer Software technical company.
Reasons for switching to NovaPACS
There were some limitations in the other system, including hooking up referring physicians.

Product Feedback
Overall, NovaPACS have performed well and has provided us with everything we need in an image archive and management system. We are very satisfied.
PROSThe Novarad software is easy to learn and use. It offers all of the features that we need in an Imaging Practice and has been reliable.
CONSI would like to see less downtime events; although many of them are quick to be resolved. Most recently, our system was inoperable due to a licensing issue. I think that these things should be caught before they occur through internal monitoring.
Reason for choosing NovaPACS
Cost savings

Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review for us, Duane! So glad you're having a good experience with NovaPACS. I will pass your comments about the downtime to our customer success team. They may want to follow up with you! Thanks again!

Disappointed
It was disappointing because it takes longer to get images to the radiologist. It takes a ridiculous amount of time to burn a CD. Forget about editing any information on a study with a lot of images like CT/MRI because it will take over 20 min and most times comes back with an error and you have to start over. You can't perform any other function while it is trying to edit or burn a CD. That ties a person up from doing anything else. I already addressed these issues with NovaRad but there is no resolution for these issues.
PROSI don't see anything that was an improvement over the last PACS we were using, but it was more expensive than what we were using before.
CONSI listed my biggest irritations with my overall experience response.
Reasons for switching to NovaPACS
Medweb didn't have an interface with Athena and they wanted to use Athena.
