What Allergy & Immunology Practices Need from IT
Allergy & immunology practice handles allergic rhinitis, asthma, food allergies, drug allergies, atopic dermatitis, chronic urticaria, primary immunodeficiency, and occasional immunology consultation (autoimmune, mast cell disease). Workflow includes skin testing (scratch and intradermal — substantial time commitment), spirometry (asthma workup), food challenge workflow (oral food challenges — extended visits), drug challenges (drug allergy evaluation), and immunotherapy (subcutaneous immunotherapy/allergy shots — SCIT; sublingual immunotherapy — SLIT). SCIT requires extract mixing, patient scheduling for weekly/bi-weekly shots, extended observation.
Allergy platforms: ModMed Allergy, NextGen Allergy, Xtract (allergy-specific), athenahealth. Specific workflow: skin testing (percutaneous and intradermal), spirometry, food/drug challenge workflow, immunotherapy (SCIT and SLIT).
Our Allergy & Immunology Work
Our allergy work covers EHR configuration, skin test protocol (panels, dilutions, interpretation), spirometry integration, food/drug challenge workflow (extended observation documentation), SCIT workflow (extract mixing, injection schedule, dose escalation, adverse reaction management), SLIT workflow, biologic therapy for severe asthma/atopic derm (Xolair, Dupixent, Nucala, Fasenra), food allergy diagnosis workflow (component testing, oral challenges), and MIPS.
Related: ENT (allergy testing overlap), pediatrics (pediatric allergy), pulmonology (asthma overlap), dermatology (atopic derm). Practice types: solo, group practice, multi-location. See allergy PM and allergy telehealth.
Geographic Coverage
Support across all 11 NJ counties: Bergen, Hudson, Essex, Passaic, Morris, Union, Middlesex, Monmouth, Somerset, Ocean, Mercer. Major cities: Hackensack, Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Elizabeth, Morristown, New Brunswick, Princeton, Trenton, Toms River. See complete locations directory.
How an Engagement Starts
Our process is structured, documented, and starts with listening — not pitching.
Step 1 — Discovery call (30 minutes, no obligation). Practice owner or office manager. We listen. What's working, what's broken, what's the immediate pain point. No pitch, no vendor pressure, no slide deck.
Step 2 — Scoped assessment. On-site or remote — we inventory infrastructure, EHR environment, cybersecurity posture, vendor contracts, and clinical workflow patterns. Typically 2-5 business days depending on practice size. Deliverable: a written assessment with findings and prioritized remediation recommendations.
Step 3 — Proposal and engagement structure. If Allergy & Immunology EHR-IT is a fit, we propose an engagement — scope, pricing, timeline, measurable outcomes. No long-term lock-in contracts on first engagement. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you directly.
Step 4 — Onboarding and delivery. Structured 30-60 day onboarding with clear milestones. Documentation, tooling deployment, knowledge transfer, and operational handoff. You know exactly what's happening and when.

Why Qventive, Specifically
Not a pitch — a factual description of how we're structured differently.
Healthcare-exclusive since 1994. Every engineer, every helpdesk technician, every account manager works only with medical practices. No retail, no law firms, no logistics companies. That focus has operational consequences — our on-call engineer at 2 a.m. knows what a downtime toolkit is for Epic. Our helpdesk understands that “the EHR is slow” is an emergency, not a ticket.
Steve Gerbino founded this company in 1994. The founder still answers questions. The depth of specialty and clinical workflow knowledge compounded over three decades is genuinely hard to replicate — and it's why we serve solo practices, group practices, multi-location practices, FQHCs, ASCs, concierge medicine, hospital-adjacent practices, and PE-backed platforms with equal depth.
Observe-Improve-Prevent methodology. Every engagement starts with observation — shadowing providers, auditing infrastructure, reviewing documentation. We don't assume. Then we improve based on what we actually see. Then we monitor continuously to prevent drift. This isn't a marketing slogan — it's an operational pattern baked into how our engineers work.
Geographic proximity. Our Bergen County headquarters in Hackensack means fast on-site response across NJ. We're not a 50-state remote-only MSP. When something needs hands-on work — new infrastructure, physical troubleshooting, device deployment — we send people.

Frequently Asked Questions
Detailed answers from 30+ years of healthcare-exclusive IT.
What's the best EHR for allergy?+
ModMed Allergy and NextGen Allergy for specialty workflow. Xtract is allergy-specific (smaller practices). athenahealth for cloud-first.
How do you handle skin testing?+
Skin testing panel configuration, documentation of positive/negative controls, wheal/flare measurement, intradermal testing workflow for selected antigens, interpretation integration.
What about food challenges?+
Oral food challenge workflow — extended visit (4-8 hours), baseline vitals, graded dose escalation, symptom tracking, reaction management protocol, interpretation.
Do you support immunotherapy?+
SCIT (subcutaneous allergy shots) workflow — extract mixing documentation, injection schedule (typically weekly build-up, then monthly maintenance), dose escalation tracking, adverse reaction management, 30-minute observation. SLIT workflow.
What about biologic therapy?+
Xolair (omalizumab) for severe asthma/chronic urticaria, Dupixent (dupilumab) for atopic dermatitis/asthma/EoE, Nucala/Fasenra for eosinophilic asthma — prior auth, administration workflow, monitoring.
How do you handle component allergy testing?+
Component-resolved diagnostics (peanut components, milk components) — interpretation more nuanced than whole-food testing. Documentation workflow.
Do you support primary immunodeficiency?+
Yes. Primary immunodeficiency evaluation (CVID, IgA deficiency, specific antibody deficiency), immunoglobulin replacement therapy (SCIg or IVIg) workflow.
