information systems and connectivity solutions, today announced that NextGen®
Inpatient Clinicals version 2.4 has earned designation as a

NextGen Healthcare has realized that vision. We now offer a certified

such as the certified EHR, CPOE, nursing and physician documentation,
clinical decision support, barcoded medication administration, and a
physician desktop view. In addition, NextGen Inpatient Clinicals
supports connectivity with radiology, labs, and pharmacies with live,
24/7 support. When combined with NextGen®
Inpatient Financials, providers gain a complete clinical, financial,
and administrative solution.
"In response to client and industry demand, we tailored our inpatient
solution to specifically meet the needs of rural and community
hospitals," said Steve

segment an unmatched level of connectivity with their patients and their

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.
