Empower Systems Releases Empower Thin Client™ EHR+HIS to Address Unique Client Needs

Oct. 18, 2012 - PRLog -- Empower Systems™ is a clinically led software vendor, which offers ONC Certified Electronic Health Record (EHR) and advance Core Hospital Information System (HIS) solutions to facilities of any size. Since 1999, the firm has received acclaim from regulatory bodies (Joint Commission, etc.) and successfully built a client base ranging from Critical Access Hospitals (CAH) in rural markets to large urban medical centers on the East and West coasts. This recent announcement illustrates a focused effort to deliver EHR and HIS solutions to more CAH facilities and underfunded hospitals around the country.

The components of Empower Thin Client include an ONC Certified comprehensive EHR (ED/Inpatient/Ambulatory) plus advanced Core HIS applications for Laboratory, Radiology, Pharmacy, Patient Registration, Hospital Scheduling, Coding/Billing, Charge Capture, and beyond.  When these systems are fully integrated, hospitals can become fully paperless within 4 months of implementation.

The Empower Thin Client™ concept removes the most common barrier to EHR/HIS adoption: cost of licensing. With most EHR/HIS product licensing ranging from mid six figures to multi-millions, there is a large contingency of hospitals that are simply unable to access this type of capital. These facilities play a crucial role in their communities and generate revenue on an ongoing basis. Empower Thin Client™ requires no licensing costs and is implemented with a simple monthly maintenance agreement. This unique acquisition model removes barriers to worthy clients and can position them to not only access crucial EHR/HIS technology for improving patient care, but it will enable them to attest for Meaningful Use Stage 1 compliance and receive CMS stimulus payments based on their facility’s volume. The Empower Thin Client™ solution can literally transform a hospital’s quality of care, patient satisfaction, government compliance, and the bottom line of its finances.
