What Pediatrics Practices Need from IT
Pediatric workflow patterns are distinctive — growth tracking (height, weight, head circumference percentiles across age), developmental screening (M-CHAT, ASQ, PEDS), extensive immunization workflow with CDC schedule logic, well-child visits at specific ages, vision and hearing screening, school and sports physicals, and age-specific dosing (weight-based for medications). Patient panel is the child but communication is with parent — workflow must handle this. Immunization registry integration (NJIIS) is required; VFC (Vaccines for Children) program participation common.
Pediatric-specific EHRs: PCC (Physician Computer Company) is dominant for independent pediatric practices, Office Practicum, athenahealth pediatrics module, eClinicalWorks pediatric, NextGen pediatric. Pediatric-specific platforms handle growth charts, developmental screening, immunization workflow with far more depth than generalist EHRs.
Our Pediatrics Work
Our pediatric work covers growth chart configuration, developmental screening tools (M-CHAT, ASQ automated scoring), immunization schedule logic and NJIIS integration, VFC program workflow, CDC vaccine schedule updates, weight-based dosing safety, pediatric telehealth, school/sports physical workflow, and parent portal communication. For adolescent care, separate confidentiality workflow (minor consent, records access).
Related specialties: family medicine (combined FM-peds practices). Practice types: solo pediatrician (common), pediatric group, multi-location pediatric network, FQHC pediatrics, pediatric concierge/DPC (growing). See pediatric PM and pediatric 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 Pediatrics 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 pediatrics?+
Independent pediatric practice: PCC is deepest pediatric-specific configuration. athenahealth pediatrics module strong for cloud-first practices. Hospital-affiliated: Epic pediatric configuration.
How do you handle NJIIS integration?+
NJIIS bidirectional integration — vaccines administered reported to NJIIS, historical immunization pulled from NJIIS. Required for VFC participation. EHR configuration and ongoing reconciliation.
What about VFC (Vaccines for Children)?+
VFC program requires inventory management (separate VFC vaccine tracking), eligibility screening, reporting. EHR workflow supports VFC inventory and eligibility checks. Annual VFC audit preparation.
How do you configure developmental screening?+
M-CHAT (18 and 24 month), ASQ (periodic), PEDS, NICHQ Vanderbilt (ADHD assessment) — automated scoring, electronic administration where supported, documentation in EHR.
What about adolescent confidentiality?+
Minors can consent to certain care independently (reproductive, SUD, mental health in NJ). EHR configuration for confidential records separated from parent portal access, minor-specific release of information.
Do you handle school and sports physicals?+
Yes. Pre-configured school physical templates, sports physical forms (NJSIAA-aligned), and documentation workflow. Seasonal surge planning for August/September sports physical volume.
What about pediatric telehealth?+
Pediatric telehealth workflow considerations — parent-child dyad, age-appropriate visit types, weight-based dosing via remote measurement, school attendance note generation. See pediatric telehealth.
