NextGen Healthcare and Primetime Medical Software Partner to Enhance Communications Between Doctors and Patients.

Structured Interviewing Technology Will Streamline the Flow of Patient Information Into NextGen([R]) EMR 

HORSHAM, Pa. & COLUMBIA, S.C. -- NextGen Healthcare, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quality Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: QSII) and a leading provider of fully integrated healthcare information systems, and Primetime Medical Software, the leading provider of software to support the computer-assisted interviewing of patients, today announced an agreement to embed Instant Medical History (IMH) into NextGen([R]) EMR 5.4 creating a time-saving feature for physicians.

By providing each patient a symptom-specific questionnaire, Instant Medical History helps patients organize and construct their history. Branching logic progresses quickly through adjustable questionnaires before organizing the positives and negatives for physicians. This information is then sent to the NextGen([R]) EMR Patient History Bar. With this advance information, physicians conduct an efficient and informed patient interview while reducing the visit time and improving documentation quality and patient care. This provides physicians with more accurate and consistently presented preliminary information, resulting in a more focused and higher value in-person interview in support of better - and faster - diagnoses.

The partnership will use Clinical Document Architecture to enhance the narrative report by making discrete data elements available to NextGen([R]) EMR and will soon be accessible via NextMD([R]), NextGen Healthcare's integrated portal, for patients to complete at home.

"The ability to gather a complete history of present illness information directly from patients supports the physician-patient relationship, an issue of growing importance to patients and physicians," said Matthew Ferrante, CEO, Primetime Medical Software. "NextGen Healthcare is well positioned to capitalize on this opportunity, with outstanding technology and thousands of customers who understand the power of technology to enhance productivity."

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.
