The eMPOWERx system helps healthcare providers streamline their practice, reduce phone calls and improve their ability to provide top quality clinical care – at the point-of-care and beyond – with:

  • An Integrated Pocket PC/PCS phone
  • Unlimited PCS data minutes, including wireless internet, allocated peak talk time, and allocated minutes on nights and weekends
  • An up-to-date, comprehensive, and clinically-relevant drug information database that readily identifies the medications covered by Medicaid without a prior authorization
  • A current 100-day prescription history for Medicaid patients that is updated daily over a secure wireless connection. This information includes all medications dispensed to patients, and assists in identifying medications written by other providers
  • One of the most robust drug interaction screening tools available – including an IV compatibility alert tool – fully integrated with the patient's medication history


In mid-2003, Informed Decisions and Florida Medicaid, with the support and approval of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, entered into a collaboration to launch the wireless eMPOWERx system to 1,000 of the highest prescribing Florida Medicaid prescribers. Since Informed Decisions implemented eMPOWERx, Florida Medicaid has achieved a significant reduction in severe drug interactions, accomplished major cost savings, and accomplished a reduction in fraud. Consequently, Florida has requested and approved expansion of the program.


Informed Decisions is currently the prime contractor for collaboration with the Mississippi Division of Medicaid to provide eMPOWERx to 225 of the State’s top Medicaid prescribers.
