What Pulmonology Practices Need from IT
Pulmonology practice handles asthma, COPD, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, sleep disorders (often combined with sleep medicine), and critical care consultation. Pulmonary function testing (spirometry, full PFTs, DLCO, body plethysmography) is core to practice. Bronchoscopy workflow (clinic-based or ASC/hospital). Sleep medicine overlap common — polysomnography, home sleep apnea testing (HSAT), CPAP/BiPAP management. Many pulmonologists also practice critical care (ICU).
Pulmonology platforms: athenahealth, NextGen, eClinicalWorks, Epic (hospital-affiliated — common given critical care overlap). PFT integration: MGC Diagnostics, COSMED, Medical Graphics pulmonary function testing systems.
Our Pulmonology Work
Our pulmonology work covers EHR configuration, PFT integration via EHR Assist, bronchoscopy workflow, sleep medicine integration (polysomnography systems, HSAT devices, CPAP/BiPAP compliance data from ResMed/Philips), asthma/COPD disease management, pulmonary hypertension medication workflow (complex PAH drugs), lung cancer screening coordination (LDCT workflow), and MIPS.
Related: cardiology (PH co-management), oncology (lung cancer coordination), sleep medicine (often combined). Practice types: solo declining, group practice common, hospital-affiliated. See pulmonology PM and pulmonology 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 Pulmonology 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 pulmonology?+
athenahealth for cloud-first ambulatory. NextGen for larger groups. Epic for hospital-affiliated (common given ICU coverage). eClinicalWorks for practices with sleep medicine integration.
How do you integrate pulmonary function tests?+
MGC Diagnostics, COSMED, Medical Graphics PFT system integration. Structured data capture (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC ratio, DLCO, TLC) with interpretation workflow. See EHR Assist.
Do you support sleep medicine?+
Yes. Polysomnography systems, home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) device integration, CPAP/BiPAP compliance data from ResMed AirView and Philips Care Orchestrator. Sleep study scoring workflow.
What about bronchoscopy?+
Bronchoscopy documentation, navigation bronchoscopy (for peripheral nodules), EBUS (endobronchial ultrasound) documentation. Image/video integration.
How do you handle lung cancer screening?+
LDCT (low-dose CT) lung cancer screening workflow — eligibility screening (USPSTF criteria), shared decision-making documentation, LDCT ordering, result tracking, follow-up per Lung-RADS.
What about asthma and COPD disease management?+
Asthma action plans, severity assessment (GINA classification for asthma, GOLD for COPD), medication adherence tracking, pulmonary rehab referral for COPD.
Do you handle pulmonary hypertension?+
Yes. PAH-specific medications (Remodulin, Flolan, Ventavis — complex administration and monitoring). Right heart catheterization result integration. Specialty pharmacy coordination.
