Empower Systems

Empower Systems is an industry-leading healthcare IT company that designs, develops, and deploys ONC Certified comprehensive Electronic Health Record solutions and Core Hospital Information System technologies for facilities of all sizes. Founded in 1999 by Dr. Seth Guterman, a board-certified emergency medicine physician, the company was developed in high-volume emergency departments with input from over 200 professionals including coding specialists, billing experts, malpractice attorneys, physician leaders, hospital administrators, and nurses. The company's flagship product, Empower Inpatient+Ambulatory EHR, achieved ONC certification via Drummond Group LLC and supports both inpatient hospital departments and ambulatory physician office environments.

Empower Systems follows a unique "One Patient, One Chart, One Database" philosophy that enables true continuum of care across all hospital departments and physician offices while seamlessly integrating with any Core Hospital Information System. The platform is built on open systems architecture using SQL database technology, emphasizing user-friendliness without sacrificing comprehensive functionality. The system was nationally recognized by the Joint Commission in 2002 in the publication "Accreditation Issues for Emergency Departments," with Empower ED being acclaimed as a success story and role model in ED documentation.

The company's solutions are designed to capture 100% of clinical data for every patient, organizing documentation that is accessible to all hospital departments. Key differentiators include industry-leading ease of use with minimal formal training requirements (less than one hour), 100% physician and user acceptance rates from day one, and comprehensive documentation standards built into the workflow through smart technology and logical prompts. The system supports role-specific EHR experiences adapted to the unique needs of nurses, physicians, specialists, care coordinators, and administrative staff.

Empower Systems serves hospitals of all sizes, from small rural facilities to large urban medical centers, as well as physician practices and specialty clinics requiring ambulatory EHR capabilities. The platform offers full integration capabilities with laboratory, radiology, pharmacy, and other ancillary systems, enabling facilities to go completely paperless. The company provides 24/7/365 IT and clinical support and emphasizes rapid deployment timeframes.
