The Efasoft Advantage

Meaningful Use and building the Nationwide Health Information Network (in the US) or the Health Infoway (in Canada) are all about standard-enabled interoperability. We believe that the successful execution of health IT projects requires a strong expertise in healthcare standards and key foundational technologies such as XML, Java, and Web Services.

We have hands-on experience in Clinical IT and Meaningful Use (MU) compliant EHR design and development.

Our approach to satisfying the need for high quality in health IT is to adopt Agile technical practices such as Test Driven Development (TDD), Refactoring, Continuous Integration, and Automated Testing.
