NextGen Healthcare Launches Enterprise Patient Portal Powered by MEDSEEK
Partnership Agreement Expands NextGen Patient Portal Offering to
Include MEDSEEK's eHealth Solutions
HORSHAM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
NextGen
Healthcare Information Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Quality
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSII) and a leading provider of healthcare
information systems and connectivity solutions, today announced it has
entered into an agreement with MEDSEEK
to create the NextGen® Enterprise Patient Portal.
Under the agreement, NextGen Healthcare will distribute MEDSEEK's
industry leading enterprise eHealth
solutions to ambulatory and inpatient organizations to aid in
improving patient-provider communications across health systems.
Building on the success of the existing NextGen®
Patient Portal, which has enabled thousands of providers to improve
clinical workflow and efficiency through electronic patient
communication, MEDSEEK's eHealth ecoSystem will be introduced to
strengthen the NextGen® portfolio for integrated delivery network
clients. The new NextGen Enterprise Patient Portal, powered by MEDSEEK,
will provide patients with ways to manage their own healthcare. Through
a single online portal, patients can access clinical and non-clinical
staff within an entire health system, as well as view test results,
schedule appointments and request prescription renewals. Healthcare
enterprises using NextGen® products and services will advance current
workflows and address Accountable Care Organization needs with the
ability to consolidate patient information from disparate electronic
health record and hospital systems into a single, intuitive view.
"This agreement underscores NextGen Healthcare's commitment to the
marketplace and to expanding our portfolio to foster better coordination
of care," said Scott
Decker, president of NextGen Healthcare. "By integrating with
MEDSEEK's technology, we can provide health system clients a universal
front door to their consumer and patient populations across the
continuum of care. This has been the trademark of the NextGen Patient
Portal, and we will now expand to encompass enterprise-wide
capabilities."
MEDSEEK's enterprise eHealth solutions include the award-winning,
Meaningful Use-certified eHealth ecoSystem, the eCost pricing
transparency solution and proprietary ecoSmart patient precisioning
technology.
"We're excited to be able to announce this agreement with NextGen
Healthcare," said Peter
Kuhn, MEDSEEK CEO. "NextGen chose MEDSEEK as its enterprise patient
experience offering, and we believe the relationship benefits both our
organizations as we work together to offer healthcare providers the best
possible patient and clinical solutions."

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.
