NextGen Healthcare's Inpatient Clinicals Receives 2014 ONC HIT Certification
Solution compliant with the ONC 2014 Edition criteria and certified
as a Complete EHR
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 that NextGen®
Inpatient Clinicals version 2.6 is compliant with the ONC 2014
Edition criteria and was certified as a Complete Electronic Health
Record (Complete EHR) on September 18, 2013 by the Certification
Commission for Health Information Technology (CCHIT®), an ONC Authorized
Certification Body (ONC-ACB). The certification was in accordance with
the applicable Hospital certification criteria adopted by the Secretary
of Health and Human Services. The ONC 2014 Edition criteria support both
Stage 1 and 2 Meaningful Use measures required to qualify eligible
providers and hospitals for funding under the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
The ONC HIT Certification Program certifies that Complete EHRs meet all
of the 2014 Edition criteria and EHR Modules meet one or more — but not
all — of the criteria approved by the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (HHS) for hospital technology. ONC HIT certification updates
will be available at http://www.cchit.org
as they occur.
"We believe achieving 2014 Complete EHR certification for NextGen
Inpatient Clinicals is another essential benchmark for clinical
professionals to consider as they evaluate software," said Jonathan
Isaacs, Sr. Vice President, Hospital Solutions Division Manager. "It is
also demonstrative of our commitment to provide hospitals with
high-quality tools that help improve care quality and operational
efficiencies. Meaningful Use Stage 2 is a critical aspect of this
certification and in healthcare reform, which serves as a key driver of
those goals. With this certification, we continue to be at the forefront
of HCIT by providing our clients with solutions that help ensure their
success amid the changing healthcare landscape."
"CCHIT congratulates companies successfully achieving EHR technology
certification," said Alisa Ray, executive director, CCHIT. "These
companies are now able to make their products available to providers
wishing to adopt health IT to demonstrate meaningful use and earn
federal incentives."
The certification number for NextGen Inpatient Clinicals version 2.6 is
CC-2014-345777-8. ONC HIT certification conferred by CCHIT does not
represent an endorsement of the certified EHR technology by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services.
The clinical quality measures to which NextGen Inpatient Clinicals
version 2.6 has been certified include: CMS32v2, CMS55v1, CMS71v2,
CMS72v1, CMS73v1, CMS91v2, CMS102v1, CMS104v1, CMS105v1, CMS107v1,
CMS108v1, CMS109v1, CMS110v1, CMS111v1, CMS114v1, and CMS190v1.
The additional software NextGen® Inpatient Clinicals relied
upon to demonstrate compliance includes ExitCare, NewCrop and First Data
Bank.
Additional types of costs that an eligible hospital would pay to
implement NextGen Inpatient Clinicals version 2.6 in order to meet
meaningful use objectives may include, but are not limited to:
additional license and monthly subscription fees for NextGen®
Patient Portal, First Data Bank content, monthly service fees,
development interface/configuration fees, and integration fees (which
will be listed as part of the 2014 Certified Product's Implementation
and/or upgrade plan).

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.
