About Qventive Healthcare

Healthcare-Exclusive IT Since 1994

Qventive Healthcare was founded in 1994 by Steve Gerbino with one operating principle: focus on one industry, do it exceptionally well. Three decades later, we’ve held that focus — never adding a non-healthcare client, never diluting the engineering team’s clinical immersion. Today we serve medical practices across Northern New Jersey — from solo primary care to PE-backed specialty platforms.

Who We Are

What makes Qventive different, structurally.

Most healthcare IT firms have non-healthcare revenue. Even those marketed as “healthcare-focused” typically have 20-40% of their book in other industries — it’s more commercially convenient. But every non-healthcare client means engineering attention divides across workflows that don’t teach clinical vocabulary. Over time, the team’s fluency erodes. The marketing stays healthcare-focused; the reality doesn’t.

Qventive has held the exclusivity line for 30+ years. That’s structural, not aspirational. Every engineer on our staff has only worked inside medical practices — never a retail rollout, never a legal firm migration, never a generic SMB help desk. It’s why when your office manager calls about a Valant template issue or a MIPS measure showing zero, the engineer who picks up already knows what to check.

Our leadership remains directly engaged — Steve Gerbino (Founder & CEO), Raul Yas (COO), John Dritsas (CTO), Joe Gerbino (CFO), and Joy DeMario (VP of Finance). The person who conducts your assessment is the person still involved in your engagement 5, 10, 15 years later.

Our Story

From a Hackensack Office to Northern NJ’s Healthcare IT Partner

Most IT companies that “do healthcare” started elsewhere — retail, finance, legal — then added a healthcare vertical when the market looked lucrative. Qventive started in healthcare and stayed.

1994
Founded as Innovative Computer Systems
Steve Gerbino opens a healthcare IT consultancy in Hackensack, NJ. The commitment: medical practices only. No side verticals. No distractions.
Early 2000s
The EHR Adoption Wave
As practices shifted from paper to electronic records, the team expanded to support Epic, NextGen, Allscripts, and eClinicalWorks. The observation-based methodology that would become Observe-Improve-Prevent was born — from watching how physicians interact with their EHR during actual patient encounters.
2010s
Cybersecurity Becomes Non-Negotiable
Ransomware attacks began targeting healthcare at record rates. The team built a dedicated cybersecurity practice — HIPAA risk assessments, managed threat detection, and 24/7 monitoring. The EHR Assist Interface was developed during this era.
2021
Rebrand to Qventive Healthcare
The rebrand to Qventive Healthcare reflects expanded capabilities while honoring the same healthcare-exclusive DNA.
Today
30+ Years. 31 Specialties. 7 Platforms.
Headquartered at 200 Passaic Street, Hackensack, NJ. A team of 11–50 professionals serves practices across Northern New Jersey on-site and nationwide remotely. Still healthcare-exclusive.

Our Mission

Translate Technology Into Patient Care Time

Every minute a physician spends fighting a frozen EHR, waiting on hold with an IT vendor who doesn’t understand clinical workflows, or hand-entering data that should transfer automatically — that’s a minute taken from patients.

Qventive’s job is to give that time back. EHRs that match how you actually practice. Networks that stay up during peak hours. Security that runs without disrupting anyone. Compliance that stays current without consuming your office manager’s entire week.

The tools have changed since 1994. The regulatory landscape — MIPS, HIPAA, NIST frameworks, 42 CFR Part 2 — has grown exponentially. But the mission hasn’t moved: keep technology invisible so physicians can focus on medicine.

What We Believe

The Principles Behind Every Engagement

These aren’t wall posters. They’re operational commitments every Qventive team member follows.

🏥

Healthcare-Exclusive, Period

No retail, no law firms, no accounting offices. Every engineer, process, and tool is calibrated to how medical practices operate — front-desk check-in to post-visit documentation.

🔍

Observe Before You Prescribe

We shadow your team during actual encounters before making recommendations. Three decades of healthcare taught us: assumptions break workflows. Observations fix them.

📐

Specificity Over Superlatives

We don’t say “world-class.” We say “30 years, 7 platforms, 31 specialties, 11 NJ counties.” Physicians trust numbers. Every claim here is verifiable.

🤝

Honest When It Costs Us

If co-managed IT or keeping things in-house is the right call for your practice, we’ll say so. Trust built through honesty lasts longer than deals closed through omission.

Our Methodology

The Observe-Improve-Prevent Framework

Every engagement follows this sequence — EHR optimization, managed IT, or security assessment.

01

Observe

3–5 days embedded with your clinical team during real patient encounters. We map every click, workaround, and vendor handoff before recommending anything.

02

Improve

Based on observed evidence — not vendor slides — we redesign workflows, reconfigure systems, consolidate tools, and train staff on features they didn’t know existed.

03

Prevent

Ongoing monitoring catches drift, threats, and degradation before your team notices. Quarterly reviews ensure your technology evolves with your practice.

Real Scenario — 6-Provider Ophthalmology Practice, Bergen County
THE PROBLEM
Technicians spent 45 minutes per provider per day manually transcribing OCT and visual field results into NextGen. Five IT vendors — networking, EHR, email, backup, security — pointed fingers at each other when anything broke. A Monday morning server outage cost 4 hours of patient revenue.
THE SOLUTION
Qventive consolidated all IT under one agreement. We deployed our EHR Assist Interface connecting Zeiss OCT, Humphrey visual field, and Topcon topographer directly to NextGen. Vendor count: 5 → 1.
THE RESOLUTION
Instrument data entry dropped from 45 minutes to under 5 per provider per day. IT spend decreased 22%. Issue resolution dropped from 4+ hours to under 30 minutes. One MA reallocated from data entry to patient care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Qventive was founded in 1994 by Steve Gerbino in Hackensack, New Jersey. The company has been continuously operating for 30+ years, exclusively focused on healthcare IT the entire time.
Qventive is a privately-held company founded and led by Steve Gerbino. Leadership is fully engaged in client work — not a figurehead executive team. Co-leadership includes Raul Yas (COO), John Dritsas (CTO), Joe Gerbino (CFO), and Joy DeMario (VP Finance).
11-50 professionals. Large enough to cover EHR, managed IT, cybersecurity, and compliance across 31 specialties with 24/7 coverage. Small enough that you’ll know your team by name — no tier-1 help desk scripts, no case-number bingo.
Three integrated practice areas: EHR Solutions (consulting, implementation, optimization, training, MIPS advisory, EHR Assist Interface), Managed IT Services (full-service and co-managed, help desk, infrastructure, cloud, VoIP, disaster recovery), and Cybersecurity & Compliance (HIPAA Security Rule, managed threat detection, incident response, risk assessment). Plus a dedicated Private Equity practice for multi-location platforms.
Primary focus is Northern and Central New Jersey — 11 counties covering Bergen, Hudson, Passaic, Essex, Morris, Union, Middlesex, Monmouth, Somerset, Ocean, and Mercer. We do not typically take on new clients outside this geographic footprint. For existing clients expanding to adjacent states, we support multi-state operations.
Two structural differences. First, complete healthcare exclusivity — we’ve never had a non-healthcare client in 30+ years. Most “healthcare-focused” firms have 20-40% non-healthcare revenue. Second, three integrated practice areas under one roof — EHR, Managed IT, Cybersecurity — with no handoffs, no finger-pointing, no scope disputes when problems cross domain boundaries.
