The long-standing professional partnership between Empower Systems™ and MetroSouth Medical Center has produced tangible results in the Emergency Department, and hospital-wide.

This milestone was supported by Empower's ONC Certified comprehensive Electronic Health Record (EHR) technology. With over $8 Million in incentives projected over 4 years, MSMC is clearly an industry leader on many levels.
