What Ophthalmology Practices Need from IT
Ophthalmology is device-dependent beyond almost any other specialty. Visit patterns require slit lamp examination, visual acuity, IOP measurement, refraction, and frequently OCT (optical coherence tomography), visual field testing, fundus photography, and A-scan biometry. Surgical workflow (cataract, retina, cornea, glaucoma) integrates with ASC operations for most ophthalmology practices. IRIS Registry quality reporting. Optical dispensing (glasses, contacts) adds retail workflow for many practices.
Ophthalmology-specific platforms: NextGen Ophthalmology (formerly NextGen-Entada), ModMed Ophthalmology, Eyefinity (for practices with optical dispensing), RevolutionEHR (smaller practices). Hospital-affiliated: Epic with ophthalmology configuration. Image/device platforms: Zeiss Forum, Topcon Harmony, Heidelberg HEYEX (OCT, fundus, visual field integration).
Our Ophthalmology Work
Our ophthalmology work covers specialty EHR configuration, device integration (OCT, VF, fundus photo, IOL master) via EHR Assist Interface, slit lamp and exam lane workflow, IRIS Registry reporting, MIPS for ophthalmology, cataract surgery workflow and ASC integration, retina injection workflow (anti-VEGF documentation, prior auth), and optical dispensing integration (Eyefinity common). For multi-location groups: multi-location architecture.
Related: ASC (cataract surgery volume makes most ophthalmology practices ASC-integrated), optometry (often combined or co-located). Practice types: solo, group practice, multi-location, PE-acquired (ophthalmology is active PE segment). See ophthalmology PM and ophthalmology 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 Ophthalmology 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 ophthalmology?+
NextGen Ophthalmology and ModMed Ophthalmology dominate for specialty workflow. Eyefinity for practices with heavy optical dispensing. RevolutionEHR for smaller practices. Hospital-affiliated: Epic ophthalmology.
How do you integrate OCT and imaging devices?+
Zeiss Forum, Topcon Harmony, Heidelberg HEYEX integration for OCT, visual field, and fundus photo. Auto-import to EHR with structured data capture. Our EHR Assist Interface handles this ecosystem.
What about IRIS Registry?+
IRIS Registry (AAO QCDR) quality reporting — discrete data capture, submission, MIPS-qualifying. Ophthalmology-specific measures (AMD, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma).
How do you handle cataract surgery workflow?+
Pre-op (IOL calculation, medical clearance), surgery day (ASC integration), post-op (visit schedule, outcome measures). IOL master device integration for biometry. ASC workflow via ASC IT.
What about retina injection workflow?+
Anti-VEGF injection (Lucentis, Eylea, Avastin off-label, newer agents) workflow — prior authorization, drug tracking, injection documentation, outcome measurement (visual acuity, OCT), billing capture.
Do you handle optical dispensing?+
Yes. Eyefinity is most common — frames inventory, lens ordering, insurance billing for vision coverage, retail workflow. Integration with EHR for refraction data.
What about multi-site ophthalmology groups?+
