Pulmonology Telehealth Technology
Pulmonology telehealth fits substantial workflow — asthma and COPD management with peak flow and symptom monitoring, sleep medicine (CPAP compliance review, sleep study result discussion, chronic insomnia management), biologics therapy follow-up, and chronic respiratory disease management. PFTs, bronchoscopy, and physical exam require in-person. Qventive handles pulmonology telehealth with attention to the specialty's appropriate telehealth fit.
How Pulmonology Telehealth Technology Fits Your Practice
When was the last time your practice audited its pulmonology telehealth technology setup? Most physicians we talk to can’t answer that question — not because they don’t care, but because they’re busy seeing patients. That’s exactly why this exists as a service.
Pulmonology practices deal with diagnostic device data that most EHR platforms weren’t designed to ingest — pulmonary function tests, sleep studies, bronchoscopy reports, and continuous oxygen monitoring. When these don’t integrate, the pulmonologist spends the first five minutes of every visit hunting for data in a separate system. This is why pulmonology telehealth technology can’t be treated as an afterthought.
Pulmonology Practice Technology
Pulmonology practices operate under specific documentation standards, diagnostic workflows, and compliance requirements. Our team has configured technology for dozens of pulmonology practices across Northern New Jersey.
Pulmonology EHR Configuration
We work with Epic Pulmonary, NextGen, eClinicalWorks — specialty templates, order sets, and reporting dashboards configured for pulmonology clinical patterns.
Regulatory Requirements
PFT interpretation documentation standards, sleep study reporting requirements. Technology configured to support these obligations without adding documentation time to your providers’ day.
Clinical Workflow Design
Pulmonary function test (PFT) result integration, sleep study report management, bronchoscopy documentation, inhaler technique tracking, and oxygen therapy management. We observe before configuring — because every pulmonology practice operates slightly differently.
Three Phases to Pulmonology Telehealth Technology Excellence
Our approach to pulmonology telehealth technology follows a deliberate sequence that most IT companies skip:
Step 1: Embed with your clinical team for 3–5 days. Watch real patient encounters. Document every technology friction point — the frozen screen during check-in, the workaround your MA invented because the template doesn’t match the workflow, the report that takes 12 clicks when it should take 3.
Step 2: Design solutions based on what we observed — not on vendor demos or questionnaires. If your practice uses its EHR platform differently than the practice down the street, the configuration should reflect that.
Step 3: Implement changes in phases, monitor outcomes, and adjust. Technology that isn’t monitored drifts. We run quarterly reviews to catch issues before they become emergencies.

Resources
Five operational domains.
Asthma management
Asthma control assessment (ACT — Asthma Control Test, ACQ questionnaires), peak flow monitoring at home with patient-reported data, inhaler technique review via video, medication adjustment based on symptom patterns, and exacerbation history review. Severe asthma biologics (Xolair, Fasenra, Nucala, Dupixent, Tezspire) management with telehealth follow-up between injections. See our pulmonology practice management page.
COPD management
COPD disease management — exacerbation prevention, medication management, pulmonary rehabilitation coordination, oxygen therapy evaluation (home O2 prescribing requires specific documentation), and GOLD classification tracking. CAT (COPD Assessment Test) for standardized assessment. PFT results trending at periodic in-person visits.
Sleep medicine telehealth
Sleep medicine has strong telehealth fit — home sleep testing (HST) enables diagnosis at home with telehealth-only visits for result discussion and treatment planning. CPAP compliance review through remote data download (ResMed AirView, Philips Care Orchestrator, Encore Anywhere). CPAP troubleshooting and mask fitting discussion. See our neurology EHR IT page (parallel sleep medicine workflow).
Pulmonary fibrosis and ILD management
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) management — medication monitoring for Ofev (nintedanib) and Esbriet (pirfenidone), symptom tracking, pulmonary rehabilitation coordination, and transplant referral coordination for qualifying patients. PFTs require in-person; management between visits fits telehealth.
What requires in-person
Pulmonary function testing (PFTs), bronchoscopy, arterial blood gas sampling, lung exam for acute presentations, and any procedural intervention. Initial evaluations typically benefit from in-person.
