The TruEfficiency team brings thousands of hours of experience supporting long term care providers nationwide.

"TruEfficiency’s project planning detail was critical to our success. They were extremely helpful in the conversion from our current software to a new web-based EHR solution. Their on-going attention to detail and follow through kept the project on schedule and allowed us to stay focused on our other work. They monitored the accuracy of data as it came across to the new system. This allowed us to have an extremely successful transition.  Their weekly reports to management kept the leadership team involved and current on the project's progress."     - Ken Baltes, PhD, Director of Technology at Catholic Eldercare in Minneapolis, MN
