MADISON, Wis.--()--SymphonyCare, the leading provider of integrated clinical and claims data solutions, today announced its EmpowerTM patient portal version 6.4 achieved certification from the 2015 Edition Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) Health IT Certification Program.

Empower v.6.4 was certified on November 5, 2019 by ICSA Labs, an Office of the National Coordinator-Authorized Certification Body (ONC-ACB) and is compliant in accordance with applicable criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

“We have an unwavering commitment to being a true partner with our clients which, by default, extends to their patients,” said Ravi Kalla, founder and CEO of SymphonyCare. “We believe this certification is just a small part of the strong foundation of trust we build as we tackle challenges and create innovations together that improve the outcomes of care.”

Empower is a unified patient engagement solution configured to meet specific needs of health care systems and organizations for federal requirements of initiatives such as Program Interoperability Stage 3, Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA), Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) and more.
