The PACS Nano is a path breaking design which exploits cloud computing and the availability off-the-shelf computer hardware to build an affordable, easy-to-use PACS that delivers robust performance with comprehensive functionality.
A solutions specifically designed for smaller hospitals and diagnostic centres targeting up to 10,000 patient exams per year is adequate for most radiology departments.
The simplicity of design also minimizes the cost and efforts for IT Administration, training and support, as even complex workflows involving multiple sites and teleradiology can be easily managed using Freedom Cloud sync.
The software allows users to access both images & reports from any computer in the facility.
The Innowave Freedom Nano supports audit trails image tracking for easy system management and ability to monitor and control the movement of patient studies
All usage statistics and key dashboards are available to display key operation deliverable like turnaround time etc.
The DICOM Image Viewer support basic DICOM print and archiving in CD, DVD media.
Innowave Healthcare has created enhanced reporting workflow solution provided for the Radiologist and Typist by seamlessly integrating “Microsoft word” with Freedom PACS.
