Novari Health™ provides software that improves access to care for patients. It does this through providing software to health care providers to track and manage patients who require services. Our software typically replaces paper-based processes in favour of an improved electronic process, ensuring that patients are managed safely and efficiently.
Novari Health offers these services through the following software products which are all part of the Novari Access to Care Platform™.
Novari ATC™

It provides physicians with electronic waiting lists, as well as the ability to send scheduling requests electronically, eliminating cumbersome paper-based processes reliant on paper and fax.
Novari eRequest®
Novari eRequest allows any care provider to request services on behalf of their patients, for virtually any kind of health care service. It can be used to support electronic referrals for a huge cross-section of services in the healthcare sector. This includes specialist referrals, diagnostic imaging referrals, requests for access to patient education programs, and more. Requests can, where appropriate, be routed to central intake programs who will coordinate care, and route to the most appropriate and next available resource (often to help load-balance services, ensuring patients are seen faster).
