Winnipeg hospitals deploy Novari surgical wait list

WINNIPEG – Novari Health is pleased to announce that hospitals across Winnipeg have gone live with its surgical wait list management and eBooking technology. The Novari ATC™ technology is being provided as software as a service to Shared Health at facilities across Manitoba where surgery and endoscopy are performed.

This province-wide implementation of Novari ATC, referred to by Shared Health as the SWIM (Surgical Waitlist Information Management) system, enhances collaboration and the management of patients awaiting surgery while providing a real-time, province-wide view of the demand for surgical services.

“These go-lives at sites across Winnipeg are a significant milestone in the province-wide implementation of our surgical wait list management system. A lot of heavy lifting has taken place by teams from the hospitals, Shared Health, and Novari to complete this phase of an on-time provincial implementation,” said John Sinclair (pictured), president & CEO, Novari Health.

With Novari ATC, surgeons and their office staff now have 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 Novari access to care platform consists of a series of integrated modules that improve patient access to care and the efficiency of the healthcare system. The Novari ATC module includes surgical wait list management, eBooking, operating room efficiency, analytics, and pre-operative functionality.

As part of this provincial project, the Novari eRequest referral management solution was implemented to support the regional orthopaedic surgical central intake program, as well as for some surgical offices to manage their referral wait list.

Novari technologies are widely deployed in Canada and Australia. Across the country and around the world, healthcare systems have been working to mitigate the lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients. The pandemic highlighted and accelerated the need for new models of care and new technologies, like Novari, that improve access to care.
