Thought leaders, clients, and industry experts share best practices for improving patient care, operational efficiencies and business sustainability

HORSHAM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Quality Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSII) and a leading provider of healthcare information systems and connectivity solutions, announced today the kickoff of its 2012 Users Group Meeting (UGM) November 11-14, in Orlando, Fla.

UGM is an annual event that provides a distinct forum for clients using NextGen^® products and services to discuss and learn industry developments, product enhancements and emerging trends for improving healthcare delivery.

This year, NextGen Healthcare and QSIDental clients come together to participate in more than 240 educational and networking opportunities designed to help keep them ahead of the evolving healthcare curve. NextGen Healthcare's executive team will address attendees in a presentation highlighting the evolution of NextGen Healthcare solutions and services that can help providers prepare for the new era of healthcare, including Meaningful Use Stage 2 and the transition to ICD-10. The team will also provide attendees with strategies to tackle critical health reform initiatives such as collaborative care and shifting reimbursement models.

Among the innovations showcased at UGM that help clients address these industry changes, NextGen Healthcare will unveil new Population Health Management tools and a business intelligence and analytics Performance Management Suite, including NextGen^® Dashboard 3.0, designed to monitor and measure clinical, financial and operational outcomes for providers. NextGen^® Healthcare Information Exchange, NextGen® Patient Portal, and NextGen® Mobile are featured solutions designed to advance community connectivity and patient engagement.

Other solutions to be introduced at UGM include the new 8 Series EHR Content and the NextGen Healthcare Preferred Provider Advantage Program, a group purchasing order program enabling clients to save significant purchasing dollars on over 7,000 items used by practices.

"In the last year, our clients have experienced several fast-paced, significant changes in the healthcare market," said Steven T. Plochocki, president and chief executive officer at Quality Systems. "Providers must now prepare for key industry drivers such as Meaningful Use Stage 2, ICD-10 and shifting reimbursement models by putting vital, necessary solutions and tools in place. In addition to its speed and ease of use, our new intuitive solutions and enhanced services help providers measure and act on their clinical and business outcomes -- an essential component to meet the new guidelines and provide better care. This is an exciting time in healthcare and our latest portfolio positions our clients well for true healthcare leadership."

A UGM attendee favorite — the UGM Hands-On Room — returns this year with more than 250 workstations running the latest NextGen^® applications. Experienced trainers, developers and implementation specialists are available to provide one-on-one product tutorials, answer questions, offer insights into best practices and highlight new or undiscovered features.

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.
