What Cardiology Practices Need from IT
Cardiology workflow is device-intensive. Diagnostic testing on-site: EKG, echocardiography, stress testing, Holter and event monitoring, vascular studies (ABI, carotid ultrasound). Cardiac rhythm device follow-up (pacemakers, ICDs, CRT devices) requires remote monitoring integration — device transmissions review, arrhythmia detection, battery status tracking. ACC PINNACLE Registry quality reporting common. Value-based care participation growing (cardiology ACO, bundled payment programs). Interventional cardiology sub-specialty with cath lab workflow for hospital-affiliated.
Common cardiology platforms: Epic Cardiology (hospital-affiliated), athenahealth, NextGen, eClinicalWorks, Allscripts. Device-specific systems: Medtronic CareLink, Boston Scientific Latitude, Abbott Merlin, Biotronik Home Monitoring for cardiac rhythm device follow-up.
Our Cardiology Work
Our cardiology work covers EHR configuration with device integration (rhythm monitoring via our EHR Assist Interface), echocardiography and stress test integration, ACC PINNACLE Registry reporting, MIPS for cardiology, telecardiology, chronic disease management (HF, CAD, AFib), cardiac rehab documentation workflow, and interventional procedure documentation.
Related: internal medicine (common referral source), pulmonology (combined practices). Practice types: solo cardiologist, cardiology group, multi-location group, hospital-affiliated. See cardiology PM and telecardiology.
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 Cardiology 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.
How do you integrate cardiac rhythm devices?+
Medtronic CareLink, Boston Scientific Latitude, Abbott Merlin, Biotronik Home Monitoring integration — device transmissions received, auto-documented in EHR, arrhythmia alerts triaged, billing capture for remote monitoring (CPT 93294-93298). Our EHR Assist Interface handles this.
What about echo and stress test integration?+
Echo integration with ultrasound systems (GE Vivid, Philips Epiq, Siemens), stress test integration with treadmill/bike systems, automated structured report import to EHR. Image link preservation for later review.
Do you support ACC PINNACLE Registry?+
Yes. PINNACLE Registry discrete data capture (ventricular function, HF performance measures, CAD care, AFib anticoagulation, lipid management), quarterly submission, MIPS-qualifying QCDR.
How do you handle MIPS for cardiology?+
Cardiology-specific measure set (ACC measures through PINNACLE, general measures applicable), measure selection against practice patterns, documentation configuration, ongoing quality monitoring.
What about cardiac rehab?+
Cardiac rehabilitation workflow — exercise session documentation, progress tracking, outcome measures (6-minute walk, functional status), MIPS/insurance documentation requirements.
Do you support AFib and anticoagulation workflow?+
Yes. AFib registry, anticoagulation monitoring (INR for warfarin, DOAC compliance monitoring), bleeding/stroke risk scoring (CHA2DS2-VASc, HAS-BLED), rate/rhythm management protocols.
What about interventional cardiology?+
Cath lab EHR integration, procedure documentation (NCDR CathPCI Registry reporting), device tracking (stents, balloons), follow-up workflow.
