American Medical Association to Offer Physicians NextGen Ambulatory EHR and Practice Management Tools on New AMA Online Platform

Physicians Nationwide Will Have Access to NextGen Healthcare’s Electronic Health Records (EHR) to Meet Their Practice Needs and Help Demonstrate Meaningful Use

HORSHAM, Pa. (August 04, 2010) – NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Quality Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSII) and a leading provider of healthcare information systems and connectivity solutions, today announced an agreement with the American Medical Association (AMA), the nation’s largest physician organization, to offer physicians NextGen® Ambulatory EHR and NextGen® Practice Management on a new AMA online platform.

The AMA platform will enable physicians to assess and meet their clinical and practice needs. It will provide physicians access to information, products and services with a single, secure sign-on. The platform, which will launch nationwide by the beginning of 2011, is currently being beta tested in Michigan in collaboration with the Michigan State Medical Society.

NextGen Healthcare’s competitively priced SaaS subscription model includes its award-winning EHR and practice management systems and serves as an alternative to the traditional software license purchase model. Under the SaaS model, users will be able to access the hosted NextGen® solutions through the AMA platform, helping them save on the typical upfront costs of purchasing a system. NextGen Healthcare’s SaaS offering packages everything a physician practice needs to reach the next level of healthcare automation, including state-of-the-art hosting, implementation, training, maintenance, image scanning and superior client support.

“NextGen Healthcare is a leader in maintaining the latest certifications available and we are confident in the company’s commitment to helping physicians demonstrate Meaningful Use of a certified EHR,” said AMA Secretary Steven Stack M.D. “NextGen Healthcare consistently displays a commitment to physicians in small and medium-sized practices by delivering tools, clinical encounter forms, and workflow automation tailored to their practice needs. By working together, NextGen Healthcare’s technology and services will help physicians best leverage electronic health record technology in their practices.”

“We are pleased that the AMA has chosen NextGen Healthcare to help physicians automate their practices and strive to secure stimulus funds as meaningful users,” said Scott Decker, President of NextGen Healthcare. “With the breadth and depth of our suite of solutions now being offered though a SaaS model, we are confident that NextGen Healthcare can provide all medical specialties a complete offering. Our flexible SaaS model enables smaller practices to gain the same advantages of healthcare automation as their larger counterparts at a price they can afford. Consistent with our Money-Back Guarantee, we’ve also promised the AMA that our software will evolve to meet the requirements of Meaningful Use.”

This news release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements regarding future events, developments, the Company’s future performance, as well as management’s expectations, beliefs, intentions, plans, estimates or projections relating to the future (including, without limitation, statements concerning revenue and net income), are forward-looking statements within the meaning of these laws and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Management believes that these forward looking statements are reasonable and are based on reasonable assumptions and forecasts, however, undue reliance should not be placed on such statements that speak only as of the date hereof. Moreover, these forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, some of which are outlined below. As a result, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements are: the volume and timing of systems sales and installations; length of sales cycles and the installation process; the possibility that products will not achieve or sustain market acceptance; seasonal patterns of sales and customer buying behavior; the development by competitors of new or superior technologies; the timing, cost and success or failure of new product and service introductions, development and product upgrade releases; undetected errors or bugs in software; product liability; changing economic, political or regulatory influences in the health-care industry; changes in product-pricing policies; availability of third-party products and components; competitive pressures including product offerings, pricing and promotional activities; the Company’s ability or inability to attract and retain qualified personnel; possible regulation of the Company’s software by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; uncertainties concerning threatened, pending and new litigation against the Company including related professional services fees; uncertainties concerning the amount and timing of professional fees incurred by the Company generally; changes of accounting estimates and assumptions used to prepare the prior periods’ financial statements; general economic conditions; and the risk factors detailed from time to time in the Company’s periodic reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A significant portion of the Company’s quarterly sales of software product licenses and computer hardware is concluded in the last month of the fiscal quarter, generally with a concentration of such revenues earned in the final ten business days of that month. Due to these and other factors, the Company’s revenues and operating results are very difficult to forecast. A major portion of the Company’s costs and expenses, such as personnel and facilities, are of a fixed nature and, accordingly, a shortfall or decline in quarterly and/or annual revenues typically results in lower profitability or losses. As a result, comparison of the Company’s period-to-period financial performance is not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
