HORSHAM, Pa. & ORLANDO, Fla. (February 21, 2011) – At the 2011 HIMSS Annual Conference and Exhibition, NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Quality Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSII) and leading provider of healthcare information systems and connectivity solutions, today unveiled several new innovations to help providers advance collaborative care and clinical integration across the continuum. The event is being held from February 20
Designed to help providers reach peak performance, NextGen Healthcare’s breadth of product and service lines, industry expertise, and consulting resources reach across the continuum of care to drive initiatives such as Medical Home and Accountable Care. Augmenting its position as a single vendor for integrated inpatient, ambulatory, connectivity and quality management solutions, NextGen Healthcare announced several key enhancements to its portfolio, on view this week at HIMSS11 booth #2163:
Next Generation EHR. Simple, smart and sleek, the company’s next generation EHR is based upon more than 20 years of clinical experience and input from thousands of clinical users. The redesigned system boasts automated outcomes reporting, enhanced disease management workflows, and precise content for more than 25 specialties. A new user interface and streamlined navigation make the latest version of NextGen® Ambulatory EHR faster and easier to use, helping providers set the stage to participate in patient-centered care and truly transform their practice.
NextPen(TM) is an innovative new digital pen device that quickly and accurately captures structured patient data directly from paper into a patient’s record in NextGen Ambulatory EHR, eliminating the need to scan forms or pay for transcriptions. Through a simple docking station, the captured information, notes, orders, drawings, diagnoses, and more are converted into structured data that can be viewed and verified instantly for population in pre-determined fields in the patient’s record.
NextGen® Mobile enables providers to access the power of NextGen Ambulatory EHR anywhere, anytime
NextGen® Quality Management Services include a suite of innovative solutions designed to empower providers by helping to strengthen clinical outcomes and care coordination. The suite includes NextGen® Health Quality Measures (HQM) Reporting Module, a proprietary, clinical data repository to help monitor quality outcomes and automate registry reporting for incentive programs such as Meaningful Use, Bridges to Excellence and PQRI; and NextGen Dashboard, a rich graphical interface used to monitor and analyze critical data and operational performance across all NextGen® ambulatory solutions and other information sources.
“NextGen Healthcare’s solutions and services are world-class, but we always strive to look forward and support the infrastructure healthcare organizations need to stay ahead of the curve. Through these new innovations as well as NextGensm Consulting services, we are delivering ground-breaking new ways to enhance providers’ performance,” said Scott Decker, president of NextGen Healthcare. “We previewed some of these solutions at the 2010 NextGen Users Group Meeting and the excitement was contagious. Now, at HIMSS11, we’re equally as energized to help propel efficiency, quality of care and collaboration forward for the entire provider community.”

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: volume and timing of systems sales and installations; length of sales cycles and installation process; the possibility that the products will not achieve 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 Quality Systems’ 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.
