Empower Quality packages Acmeware's proven analytics platform with deep quality expertise into a single turnkey solution. Best-practice configuration, expert guidance, and a platform your team can use on day one.
Federal quality programs are complex, the measures change every year, and getting MEDITECH configured correctly requires expertise that spans clinical documentation, EHR configuration, data analytics, and regulatory knowledge all at once. Most hospitals either rely on one person who carries all of that institutional knowledge or cycle through staff who never fully get up to speed before the next transition.
Everything Acmeware has built with Empower, paired with everything they've learned supporting quality reporting since 2013. The result is best-practice configuration, expert-validated data, and a platform your team owns and operates independently. Customized to your programs, your measures, your workflows.

Built on the same Power BI and Data Repository foundation as Empower, the quality platform delivers a dedicated reporting layer that goes beyond MEDITECH's native Quality Vantage tooling.
Analytics adoption fails when the people reading the data don't agree on what it means. When does a patient become a patient? How do you define length of stay? What counts as a readmission? If every department answers those questions differently, your dashboards produce noise instead of clarity.
Data governance is the foundation that turns information into intelligence. Acmeware builds this into every Empower engagement, working with your clinical, financial, and operational stakeholders to establish shared definitions, consistent naming conventions, and validated data models that the entire organization can trust.
The professional services component is what makes Empower Quality operational, not just installed. Acmeware's quality team uses these hours to configure, validate, and optimize the platform for your specific environment.
Configuration and Setup
Quality Vantage configuration, MEDITECH SQL script deployment, data collection code customization, and platform installation against your Data Repository environment.
Nomenclature Mapping
Comprehensive review and remediation of MIS maps, nomenclature maps, query maps, and interface value sets. Alignment with current CMS value set definitions for the active reporting period.
Data Validation and Testing
Patient-level validation against active measures, measure performance baseline establishment, and end-to-end testing from clinical data capture through reporting output.
Training & Knowledge Transfer
Quality team training on the platform, documentation of your hospital's specific quality configuration and workflows, and guidance on annual update processes so institutional knowledge lives in the system.
Empower Quality supports the full range of programs MEDITECH hospitals are required to report on.
Every major CMS, Joint Commission, and facility-level quality program is supported out of the box.
