What Technology Due Diligence Uncovers
Technology due diligence on healthcare targets surfaces issues that would be expensive post-close surprises. Common findings: EHR configurations 3-5 years out of date (working but not optimal, meaning provider efficiency is below benchmark); cybersecurity posture below platform standard (no MDR, weak EDR, limited MFA coverage, inadequate backup — all remediation cost); vendor contracts with punitive termination clauses (exit cost higher than expected); HIPAA documentation gaps (risk assessment outdated, BAAs missing, incident response plan non-existent); multiple redundant IT systems paid for but not actually in use; and specialty-specific device integrations that won't port cleanly to platform-standard configurations.
Our due diligence deliverable is a written assessment covering current state across infrastructure, EHR platforms, cybersecurity posture, vendor relationships, compliance documentation, and operational reporting. Estimated remediation cost for each gap. Integration risk assessment against platform standards. Timeline estimates for post-close standardization work.
Due Diligence Scope
Standard scope covers: EHR and clinical systems — platform inventory, version status, customization depth, interface catalog, data migration risk. Infrastructure — network, servers, cloud tenancies, backup architecture, endpoint inventory. Cybersecurity — EDR deployment, MDR coverage, email security, MFA coverage, HIPAA risk analysis status, incident response readiness, recent ransomware or breach history. Vendor contracts — inventory, term remaining, termination clauses, renewal timing. Compliance — HIPAA documentation, BAAs, policies/procedures, workforce training records. Operational reporting — current practice-level reporting, consolidation readiness. For specialty-heavy targets, additional specialty fluency matters.
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 healthcare platform technology due diligence 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 typical due diligence timeline?+
Scoped engagements 2-4 weeks for single-practice targets, 4-8 weeks for multi-practice platforms. Parallel to financial and legal DD. Access to target systems and documentation required.
What deliverables do you provide?+
Written assessment report with findings, remediation estimates, and risk ratings. Executive summary appropriate for investment committee review. Detailed technical appendices for post-close team planning.
How do you assess cybersecurity?+
Document review (risk analysis, policies, incident logs), technical assessment (EDR deployment, MFA coverage, backup verification, network architecture review), interview of IT leadership/vendors, and optional external attack surface assessment. See cybersecurity.
Do you estimate remediation costs?+
Yes — that's the point. Each gap gets an estimated remediation cost (one-time + ongoing), integration risk rating (low/medium/high), and timeline estimate. Rolls up to platform-level post-close budget.
How do you handle specialty EHR assessments?+
Specialty-specific fluency from 30+ years of healthcare-exclusive work. We understand which EHR configurations are fixable, which are landmines, and which specialty platforms actually need preserving vs. consolidating. See EHR consolidation.
Do you cover multi-practice platform DD?+
Yes — common. Each practice assessed individually plus platform-level risk aggregation.
What's due diligence pricing?+
Fixed-price typically, scoped to target size and complexity. Call (201) 488-2750 for scope discussion.
Does Qventive serve platforms outside NJ?+
Yes. Due diligence and standardization engagements across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond for PE platforms. Primary operational footprint NJ. See locations and PE page.
