Quinte Health Implements Novari Surgical Wait List Management System
KINGSTON, ON, Feb. 14, 2024 /CNW/ - Novari Health is pleased to announce it has completed another successful implementation of its surgical wait list management and eBooking technology.
The Novari ATC™ software has gone live at three Quinte Health hospitals located in Belleville, Trenton, and Picton, Ontario. The technology is being provided as software as a service (SaaS) to the hospitals and all surgical offices. The system provides surgeons and their office staff access to a standardized electronic wait list management system and the ability to electronically coordinate the scheduling of surgeries and procedures with the hospitals. The software enhances the ability for collaboration and management of pooled lists of patients waiting for surgery as well as supporting a regional view of the demand for surgical services.
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 waiting for many healthcare services. Having a state-of-the-art wait list and backlog management system complements these efforts for all patients including those waiting for cardiac, surgical, and other services.
Novari Health's innovative and unique access to care technologies are live and being implemented at hospitals and regional health authorities in Canada and Australia. The Novari access to care platform helps improve access to care, wait times, and drive efficiencies for patients accessing a wide variety of health care services including surgery, mental health & addictions, diabetes, cardiac, medical imaging, etc.
"We are grateful to the Novari project management team, Quinte team and physician office teams for their tremendous assistance with bringing real-time waitlist management information to our surgeons. Visibility of waitlist information guides the teams in making decisions that can improve the lives of those waiting for surgery." - Kristina Cruess, Program Director, Patient Services, Quinte Health
"We are grateful to the Novari project management team and the Quinte team for their tremendous assistance with bringing real-time waitlist management information to our region's physicians, and improving the lives of those waiting for surgery." - Pete Crvenkovski, Director, Informatics, Health Records & Virtual Health, Quinte Health
"This is a milestone moment for Quinte Health and our patients as we leverage technology to create healthier communities, together, with our teams and Novari.

We are so thankful to our teams (Novari being a part of our team) for exceptional dedication and time to advance this forward" - Gina Johar, Vice President & Chief Digital Officer, Chief Privacy Officer, Quinte Health
"The success of this implementation was due in no small part to the outstanding leadership provided by Quinte's executive, IT, and surgical teams, who shared a common vision of how to tackle the surgical backlog and improve access to care for their patients.
