(NASDAQ: QSII) and leading provider of healthcare information systems and connectivity solutions, today announced it has executed an agreement with EyeHealth Northwest to deploy NextGen® Ambulatory EHR (Electronic Health Record) and NextGen® Practice Management across its 11 offices, 11 optical shops and two surgery centers in Oregon. EyeHealth Northwest is one of 19 ophthalmology practices to choose NextGen® technology during the second quarter of 2010, bringing the company’s total ophthalmology-specific client base to nearly 500 practices.

EyeHealth Northwest’s 30 providers perform more than 130,000 exams and 12,000 surgeries annually.

The addition of EyeHealth Northwest and 18 other new ophthalmology clients, such as Grand Rapids Ophthalmology and Lansing Ophthalmology in Michigan, will give roughly 5,000 providers nationwide access to NextGen Healthcare’s leading technology solutions and its team of ophthalmology experts. This total represents more than half the ophthalmology EHR user population in the U.S.

NextGen Ambulatory EHR version 5.6, a CCHIT Certified® 2011 Ambulatory EHR, features exclusive ophthalmology content, including pre-built clinical templates and workflow, to help ensure complete, accurate documentation stored in a standard format. The solution’s disease management templates can enable ophthalmology practices to capture discrete data at the point of care, which will be crucial to meet clinical reporting guidelines for pay-for-performance programs.

“We’re excited to add these practices to our growing ophthalmology client base,” said Scott Decker, President of NextGen Healthcare. “Our commitment to this market is clearly demonstrated by our specialty director, who possesses more than 25 years of industry experience, and our team of ophthalmology experts, who ensure we’re constantly up-to-date on our clients’ emerging needs

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.
