What Radiology Practices Need from IT
Radiology practice operates differently from ambulatory specialties — most work is interpretation (reading studies) rather than direct patient care. Imaging centers perform the actual studies (X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, mammography, nuclear medicine), while radiology practice groups (often contracted to hospitals or imaging centers) interpret. Workflow integration between modality (scanner), PACS (image storage), RIS (radiology information system), speech recognition (dictation), and reporting is critical. Teleradiology common.
Radiology platforms: PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) — GE Centricity, Sectra, Philips, Fujifilm Synapse. RIS (Radiology Information System) — ePlus Global, Merge, RamSoft. Speech recognition — Nuance Powerscribe (dominant), Fluency for Imaging. Hospital radiology dominates; our work covers independent imaging centers and radiology practice groups.
Our Radiology Work
Our radiology work covers practice group management for independent radiology practices, imaging center operational IT (modality integration, PACS, RIS), teleradiology workflow, speech recognition integration, credentialing across hospitals/imaging centers, radiology billing (technical component vs professional component split), MIPS for radiology, and quality registries (ACR National Radiology Data Registry).
Related: hospital radiology (different scope — our work is with radiology practice entities and imaging centers, not hospital radiology IT). Practice types: hospital-contracted radiology groups, independent imaging centers, teleradiology companies, PE-backed radiology (emerging). See radiology PM and teleradiology.

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 Radiology 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.
Do you support hospital radiology?+
No — hospital radiology PACS/RIS is typically hospital-owned and hospital IT-managed. Our work is with radiology practice groups (the reading entities), independent imaging centers, and teleradiology companies.
What PACS systems do you support?+
GE Centricity, Sectra, Philips, Fujifilm Synapse, Merge — practice-group and imaging-center scale PACS. Hospital-scale PACS is hospital IT domain.
How do you integrate speech recognition?+
Nuance Powerscribe is dominant for radiology dictation. Integration with PACS worklist, RIS, and final report delivery. Fluency for Imaging as alternative.
What about teleradiology?+
Teleradiology workflow — study distribution to radiologists (often across geography and time zones), worklist management, QA, reporting back to origin facility. Complex workflow.
How do you handle imaging center operations?+
Imaging center IT — modality integration (CT, MRI, ultrasound, X-ray), PACS, RIS, scheduling, patient registration, insurance authorization, report delivery to referring physicians.
What's TC vs PC billing?+
Radiology billing splits between Technical Component (TC — the scan itself, performed by imaging center) and Professional Component (PC — the interpretation, performed by radiologist). Different payer rules and documentation requirements.
What about MIPS for radiology?+
Radiology-specific measure set through ACR NRDR (National Radiology Data Registry). Automated extraction, MIPS-qualifying QCDR.
