Why OB-GYN EHR & IT Solutions Can't Wait
If your practice currently uses 3 or more IT vendors, you already know the problem: when something breaks, the first 20 minutes are spent figuring out whose fault it is. OB-GYN EHR & IT Solutions is where this vendor fragmentation hurts most, because clinical workflows can’t pause while vendors argue.
Qventive’s EHR team includes analysts who’ve configured platforms across 31 specialties. We apply our Observe-Improve-Prevent methodology to every engagement — shadowing your clinical team, redesigning workflows based on how you actually practice, then monitoring for configuration drift so improvements stick.
What Makes OB-GYN IT Different
OB-GYN practices need technology partners who understand mips cost measure tpcc-p, perinatal quality reporting requirements and can configure Athenahealth, NextGen OB/GYN for specialty-specific clinical patterns. Generic IT companies treat every practice the same — we don’t.
A Structured Path to OB-GYN EHR & IT Solutions Success
Why observation first: Every practice we’ve ever worked with has workarounds their staff invented because the technology wasn’t configured right. These workarounds are invisible to vendors who only see the system from the admin panel. We see them because we sit in the exam room.
What changes: Configurations that match actual clinical workflows. Vendor relationships consolidated under one accountable team. Security that runs without requiring your office manager to become a cybersecurity expert.
How we maintain it: Monthly monitoring, quarterly optimization reviews, annual technology roadmapping with your practice leadership. The goal isn’t a one-time fix — it’s continuous alignment between your technology and your practice.

The distinct operational patterns within a typical OB-GYN practice.
Prenatal care
Longitudinal obstetric care across ~40 weeks — initial OB visit, antepartum visits at standard intervals, prenatal labs at specific gestational ages, ultrasound workflow (dating, anatomy scan, growth scans), glucose screening, group B strep screening, and delivery coordination. Structured OB templates that handle gestational-age-appropriate documentation reduce time per visit substantially.
Labor & Delivery coordination
L&D happens in hospital, documented in hospital EHR. Practice-side coordination with hospital EHR for admission, monitoring data flow back to practice record, delivery documentation, and postpartum follow-up. For practices with admission rights at specific hospitals, Epic Community Connect or similar extensions handle cross-setting documentation.
Gynecologic ultrasound
In-office ultrasound (pelvic, transvaginal, obstetric ultrasound) is standard in OB-GYN practices. Ultrasound equipment (GE Voluson, Philips Affiniti, Samsung HERA, Mindray DC-series) integration with the EHR, DICOM storage, and structured measurement templates. Practices performing anatomy ultrasounds may need specific accreditation (AIUM, ACR).
In-office procedures
Colposcopy with biopsy, IUD insertion and removal, endometrial biopsy, LEEP, hysteroscopy in some practices, and contraceptive procedures (Nexplanon insertion). Procedure documentation workflow, specimen tracking for biopsies with pathology integration, and billing with appropriate CPT codes. LEEP and hysteroscopy have specific credentialing and equipment needs.
Gynecologic surgery
Hysterectomy, myomectomy, ovarian surgery, urogynecologic procedures — performed in hospital or ASC settings. Practice-side surgical workflow includes pre-op evaluation, surgical scheduling, ASC or hospital coordination, and post-op follow-up. See our ASC IT page for practices operating dedicated gyn ASCs.
Why OB billing is structurally distinct.
Global maternity codes (59400 vaginal delivery, 59510 C-section, 59610 VBAC, 59618 C-section after VBAC attempt, with variants) cover prenatal care + delivery + postpartum care as a single billed package. Per-visit billing does NOT apply during a global pregnancy — billing happens at delivery for the full bundle.
Complications may be billed separately (e.g., pre-existing hypertension management, gestational diabetes management when adequately documented as distinct services). Proper documentation of complication-driven additional services enables separate billing; inadequate documentation means this revenue is lost.
Transfer of care between providers during pregnancy has specific billing implications. Patient who starts care with one practice and delivers with another requires prorated global fee billing. Practices with significant transfer patterns need workflow supporting this.
