What Orthopedics Practices Need from IT
Orthopedic practice workflow spans clinic-based evaluation, in-office procedures (joint injections, fracture reduction, casting), imaging interpretation (X-ray, often in-house MRI for larger groups), DME dispensing (braces, crutches, orthotics), physical therapy referral or in-house PT, and surgical workflow at ASC or hospital. Sub-specialty concentration common — sports medicine, joint replacement, spine, hand, foot & ankle, trauma, pediatric ortho, oncology. AJRR (American Joint Replacement Registry) quality reporting for joint replacement volume.
Common platforms: ModMed Orthopedics, NextGen Orthopedics, athenahealth, Epic (hospital-affiliated). Specialty workflow modules: in-house DME, in-house MRI (larger groups), physical therapy integration, ASC workflow.
Our Orthopedics Work
Our orthopedic work covers EHR configuration, X-ray and MRI integration via EHR Assist, DME workflow (inventory, fitting documentation, insurance billing), ASC integration (most orthopedic groups have ASC affiliation or ownership), physical therapy integration, AJRR Registry reporting for joint replacement, MIPS, and workers' comp workflow (significant in orthopedics).
Related: ASC (joint replacement, arthroscopy, spine), sports medicine, pain management (overlap). Practice types: group practice dominant, multi-location, PE-acquired (active segment). See ortho PM and ortho telehealth.

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 Orthopedics 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 orthopedics?+
ModMed Orthopedics and NextGen Orthopedics for specialty workflow. athenahealth strong for cloud-first. Epic for hospital-affiliated. Platform selection heavily influenced by ASC affiliation.
How do you handle in-office imaging?+
X-ray (DR/CR) integration, MRI integration for practices with in-house MRI. Image capture to EHR with structured findings import. Our EHR Assist Interface handles device integration.
What about DME dispensing?+
DME workflow — inventory management (braces, crutches, orthotics), fitting documentation, patient education, insurance billing (HCPCS codes), re-order workflow. Separate revenue stream requiring dedicated workflow.
How do you handle ASC integration?+
Most orthopedic groups have ASC affiliation. EHR workflow spans clinic → ASC → post-op. ASC IT coordinates pre-op assessment, surgical scheduling, intra-op documentation, post-op follow-up.
Do you support AJRR for joint replacement?+
Yes. American Joint Replacement Registry discrete data capture (patient demographics, implant details, outcomes), submission workflow, MIPS qualifying.
What about physical therapy integration?+
In-house PT: integrated EHR workflow, scheduling, documentation, billing. Referred PT: electronic referral, result communication, care coordination.
What about workers comp workflow?+
Workers comp is significant in orthopedics. Separate authorization workflow (state-specific), return-to-work documentation, impairment ratings, IME documentation. EHR workflow supports workers comp revenue cycle.
