Novari Health has announced that it has completed another successful implementation of its medical imaging referral management digital technology. Humber River Hospital is the latest Canadian hospital to implement Novari’s one-of-a-kind cloud-based technology.
The Novari Medical Imaging Requisition Management (MIRM) software has gone live at Humber River Hospital. The software as a service (SaaS) technology is being provided as an electronic means to manage the receipt, processing and workflows associated with inbound referrals for medical imaging. Individual workflows for MRI, CT, mammography, nuclear, and other imaging modalities are complex and still paper-based at most Canadian hospitals. The Novari MIRM system’s workflow capabilities can be configured by hospitals to accommodate unique workflows for each modality and eliminate risks and inefficiencies inherent in paper-based processes. The Novari technology provides front line staff and management with accurate and real-time data on the volume of requisitions, the status of every patient’s referral and bottlenecks in the system.
The Ontario Ministry of Health, Ontario Health, and hospitals across the province have been working to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients. Having a modern medical imaging wait-list management and electronic workflow system complements these efforts for all patients including those waiting for surgical consults, surgery, and other procedures.
Novari Health’s innovative and unique access to care technologies are live and being implemented at dozens of hospitals and regional health authorities across Canada.
“The Novari MIRM system has provided our Medical Imaging team a digital path for our outpatient referral process enabling greater seamless access to requisitions. Manual coding by technologists and radiologists has transformed with an efficient platform eliminating physical steps, paper requisition searching and/or lost requisitions, resulting in improved turn around times for our clerical associate team to schedule appointments for our patients. We look forward to repurposing our multiple large file cabinets as well as not having to order 5000 sheets of paper per week,” said manager medical imaging, Humber River Hospital, Dolores Dimitropoulos
