As hospital leadership knows all too well, if an Electronic Health Record slows down documentation of patient care either at the bedside or at the end of a shift, both physicians and nurses will logically request technology alternatives. Empower Inpatient+Ambulatory™ users are proficient on Day One and hone their skills faster than with competing products.
Empower offers the ONC Certified Comprehensive EHR which can serve as the clinical backbone to take your facility completely paperless in record time. By capturing 100% of clinical data for every patient and organizing it into documentation that is accessible to ALL hospital departments, successful EHR technology is easily within reach.
Documenting with Empower is intuitive and logical for physicians and nurses alike. They need only learn 8 and 6 buttons, respectively, in order to produce a complete medical record for every patient. Smart Technology ensures that the rest of the chart is complete with all necessary documentation.
Empower provides measurable cost savings plus increased revenue. Capturing all charges in every department means unparalleled profit and positive financial performance. Empower requires that clinicians document care more thoroughly and in accordance with government compliance and coding mandates, which means appropriate billing for every patient and therefore a sizeable revenue increase.

One-Click Order Entry! Empower simplifies the Order Entry process significantly. Any time an order is entered, including verbal orders, they are highlighted to notify the physician to sign off on them. This means NO incomplete charts/medical records, NO unsigned orders, and translates to 100% physician acceptance.
The physician’s SOAP note is tremendously flexible and much faster than paper or inefficient electronic documentation. Available one time, frequently used in one place, assessment plans and templates can be built and easily edited, saving significant time.
The clinical process is not altered—it’s enhanced and streamlined. For nurses, every aspect of documenting patient care is more efficient, and physicians can maintain their preferred method of documentation: transcription, Voice Dragon, or free-text can be used at any time for thorough but fast documentation.
Empower simplifies the process to the degree that physicians can easily manage their own data mining and compliance reporting. Advanced reporting features are available, requiring just a bit of additional training.
The integrated form builder offers as many forms as clinicians want. All data is captured in structured fields, translating to unlimited MUAM, OPI, and QA reports for clinical staff and hospital administration.

Empower Inpatient + Ambulatory™ is built on an open systems architecture as a philosophical basis for the future of Healthcare IT. SQL is an incredibly robust, stable database that can store almost unlimited information. Proprietary systems, on the other hand, are not as stable, are more difficult and expensive to maintain, and require more downtime, unlike Empower, which requires almost no downtime.
Empower uses as few hospital resources as possible, requiring only 20 to 40 hours of work for all interfaces. • ADT • OrderEntry • Results • Pharmacy Interface (Outbound from Empower) • Pharmacy Dispensing System Interface (Inbound Empower) • Clinical Interface • Medication Reconciliation • HL7 Interface for PDF Document Link to Core HIS • Vitals Monitor • Charge Capture • Transcription • Final Chart Export to PCP & Lifetime Repository • Inpatient Interface for All Clinical Information for Admitted Patients
Empower Inpatient + Ambulatory™ works with virtually any Windows-based hardware, from desktops to wireless laptops to tablet PCs/iPads. Hardware selected by a hospital is a matter of user preference, depending on whether users prefer to point & click, tab, scroll, or employ touchscreens.
Non-redundant, seamless transfer of information between all hospital units, physician offices, and hospital networks.
Empower Inpatient + Ambulatory™ employs real-time project management software to ensure that our team and the hospital’s team can quickly identify the status of tasks leading up to GoLive. In effect, Empower outsources to itself the func- tion of most traditional roles the hospital must fulfill on a project of this nature. This enables us to guarantee full deployment within an industry-leading timeframe, while most projects of this nature are still underway after many years.
The Empower Partnership delivers unprecedented IT & Clinical Support 24/7/365 to ensure that we deliver on the promise of improved quality of care and patient satisfaction, reduced length of stay, and a truly integrated EHR. Empower Inpatient + Ambulatory™ also provides a seamless rollout of enhancements as the result of ongoing product development to constantly improve the product suite.
