KINGSTON, ONNovariHealth is pleased to announce St. Joseph’s Care Group (SJCG) in Thunder Bay is implementing the Novari eRequest™ referral management and central intake software technology.  

The Novari technology is being provided to SJCG as an enabling technology for its Regional Wound Care Program across Northwestern Ontario.  The software will be used for central intake, receiving of referrals, triaging, and routing referrals to wound care service providers.  The Regional Wound Care Program is a specialized outpatient multidisciplinary program supporting individuals with wounds that are slow to heal. 

The Novari eRequest system is a three-in-one technology that enables referral workflow management, central intake and wait list management.  The system is highly configurable and can be easily adapted for to any type of healthcare service (e.g., diabetes, mental health & addictions, orthopedics, etc.).  The technology features customizable workflows and robust integration capabilities to other hospital IT systems.  Novari eRequest is scalable and has been deployed at individual hospitals, across health regions and provincially.   

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.  Central intake models, enabled with modern referral workflow management and wait list management technology, are an effective way to get the right patient to the right provider at the right time and with the right data.  Across Canada and beyond, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted and accelerated the need for new models of care and new technologies like Novari, that improve access to care. 

Novari Health’s innovative and unique access to care technologies arelive and being implemented at dozens of hospitals and regional health authorities across five Canadian provinces.  

For someone in need of specialized wound care, early connection with the right provider means faster treatment and better health outcomes. By implementing Novari eRequest, St. Joseph’s Care Group’s Regional Wound Care Program will streamline referrals across an inherently complex systemof multiple providers over vast distances, making positive change for people in Northwestern Ontario.”
