What medQ does

medQ, inc. is a U.S.-based provider of radiology information system (RIS) and imaging workflow software founded in 1996 and headquartered in Allen, Texas. The company operates as a privately held subsidiary of Jonas Software, an operating division of Constellation Software (TSX: CSI), following an acquisition announced on March 31, 2022. Its core platform, Q/ris 3000™, is a modular, platform-neutral, standards-based enterprise imaging workflow RIS built from 40+ configurable modules that integrate exam ordering, scheduling, technologist worklists, reporting, result distribution, and billing into a single radiology workflow. The architecture supports on-premises, hosted, and cloud deployment and connects bidirectionally to 100+ EMR, RIS, HIS, and PACS systems using HL7, APIs, and DICOM standards, with named integrations into Epic, McKesson, and GE.

The product portfolio extends the flagship RIS with companion modules including Q/ris ReportingPlus+ (radiologist reporting with advanced voice recognition and AI Findings Navigator), Q/ris Tech Workflow, Q/ris Reading Services (teleradiology unified worklist), Q/ris VETworkflow (veterinary radiology), Q/ris Portals (patient and physician portals with eCheck-in and online self-scheduling), Q/ris Analytics, AI Navigator™ (an AI orchestration layer over third-party diagnostic AI), and an Automated Caseload Assignment Agent. Recent product activity includes a January 21, 2026 launch of comprehensive AI- and automation-powered enhancements spanning the radiology lifecycle, an August 25, 2025 HITRUST CSF certification, and a Q/ris AI generative-AI RIS platform introduced at RSNA 2023. The company delivers through a consultative direct enterprise sales motion routed via Pipedrive "Book a Demo" schedulers, supported by event presence at RSNA, content marketing, and the Jonas Software / Constellation Software distribution portfolio.

medQ generates revenue primarily through quote-based, multi-year enterprise subscriptions for Q/ris 3000 and add-on modules (ReportingPlus+, Analytics, Portals, VETworkflow, Reading Services, Dictation, AI Navigator, etc.), supplemented by implementation, training, and 24/7 US-based customer support bundled into the offering. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; modular purchasing ("pay only for what you need") supports a land-and-expand motion. The customer base spans hundreds of practices and enterprises across the U.S., including hospitals, imaging centers, teleradiology providers, veterinary practices, and specialty practices, with named customers such as Central Imaging of Arlington, Comprehensive Digital Imaging, Boston Breast Diagnostic Center, CARTI, Gonzaba Medical Group, Access Health, Northern California PET Imaging Center, Ultimate Imaging (Bermuda), and Innovative Radiology. The stated customer-support rating is 4.7/5, and average Q/ris 3000 implementation time is approximately 10 weeks.

Revenue model

1. Enterprise RIS software subscriptions / licensing: Recurring enterprise software revenue from the Q/ris 3000 platform and add-on modules (ReportingPlus+, Analytics, Portals, VETworkflow, Reading Services, Dictation, AI Navigator, etc.), configured modularly per customer. Sold via quote-based sales cycles through a direct sales motion rather than transparent public pricing.
2. Implementation, training, and ongoing professional services: Workflow automation consulting, deployment, and training services bundled with software sales (e.g., 10-week average implementation time for Q/ris 3000); supplemented by 24/7 US-based customer support as part of the offering.
3. Module / add-on expansion revenue (land-and-expand): Customers can add additional modules over time to scale their workflow (e.g., Order Entry, Tech Workflow, Reporting PLUS+, Front Desk, Text Reminders, Portals, Dictation), driving expansion revenue on top of the base platform.

Product overview

medQ delivers a platform-plus-modules RIS (Radiology Information System) architecture rather than a single monolithic product. The flagship is Q/ris 3000, a configurable enterprise imaging workflow RIS that integrates exam ordering, scheduling, technologist worklists, reporting, result distribution, and billing with a longitudinal view of each patient encounter, built from 40+ configurable workflow modules. Around it, medQ offers companion products including Q/ris ReportingPlus+ (radiologist reporting environment with voice recognition, AI Assignment Engine, and AI Findings Navigator), Q/ris Tech Workflow / Tech Worklist (DICOM MWL worklist), Q/ris Reading Services (teleradiology unified worklist), Q/ris VETworkflow (veterinary radiology), Q/ris Portals (patient and physician portals supporting eCheck-in and online self-scheduling), Q/ris Analytics (operational BI), AI Navigator™ (embedded AI assistant that drops AI findings into reports), plus additional modules such as Order Entry™, Front Desk™, Dictation, Text Reminders, and the Automated Caseload Assignment Agent. AI, automation, and interoperability (HL7/DICOM, EMR/PACS/HIS, including Epic, McKesson, and GE) are positioned across the entire portfolio, delivered within a HITRUST-certified, HIPAA-compliant platform.
