NextGen Healthcare Now Offers Continuing Medical Education Credits to Physicians

Accreditation from the ACCME Enables Physician Users of NextGen® Ambulatory EHR to Earn CME Credits for Select Educational Activities

HORSHAM, Pa. (August 10, 2010) – 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 announced that it has been surveyed by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®) and awarded accreditation for two years as a provider of continuing medical education for physicians.

ACCME accreditation seeks to assure both physicians and the public that continuing medical education activities provided by NextGen Healthcare meet the high standards of the Essential Areas, Elements and Policies for Accreditation as specified by the ACCME. The ACCME rigorously evaluates the overall continuing medical education programs of institutions according to standards adopted by all seven sponsoring organizations of the ACCME. These are: the American Board of Medical Specialties; the American Hospital Association; the American Medical Association; the Association for Hospital Medical Education; the Association of American Medical Colleges; the Council of Medical Specialty Societies; and the Federation of State Medical Boards of the U.S., Inc.

“Our goal is to enable physicians to fully integrate electronic health records into their practices and use them in a way that improves patient care,” says Kim Cline, Executive Vice President, Professional Services of NextGen Healthcare. “Ongoing training and education on our products, best practices and new initiatives like Meaningful Use are absolutely critical to achieving that result. Now the added value of earning CME credits gives physicians all the more reason to seek out these learning opportunities and leverage them for both practice and professional development.”

NextGen Healthcare upholds a tradition of offering more than just innovative technology

“This is a truly unique offering from a healthcare technology company, marking the sophistication of both NextGen® products and educational programs,” said Scott Decker, President of NextGen Healthcare. “We’re thrilled to join an accomplished list of accredited institutions and will continue to excel in program offerings on behalf of our clients.”

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 actually 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.
