TUSTIN, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 21, 1999--

Quality Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:QSII) Wednesday announced that it has signed an agreement with its customer Creative Dimensions in Dentistry (CDD), a dental group based in Castro Valley, Calif., for an enterprisewide implementation of the company's Clinical Product Suite.
