Quality Systems and its NextGen Healthcare subsidiary (QSI/NextGen)
earned Stevie Awards across many categories, ranging from company,
events and departments to marketing and communications.
"The American Business Awards is a noteworthy competition in that it
acknowledges all organizational and functional areas of companies. This
year, our Company, as well as some members of our team of 2,600
employees worldwide, a few of our departments, including marketing,
human resources and talent services, along with several product
marketing programs, were all recognized by the ABA judges. This is a
testament to the depth of our talent across many functional areas of the
Company. We thank our employees for their commitment and the judges for
recognizing and honoring Quality Systems," said Steven T. Plochocki,

"The QSI/NextGen Healthcare marketing team was well represented in this
year's ABAs. The two gold Stevie Awards we earned for efforts put forth
by our department are indicative of the team's dedication, passion and
industry expertise. Our tradeshow and events team is small yet powerful
and was hailed for the nearly 500 meetings it organizes and coordinates
annually, including our user group meeting, which attracts nearly 4,000
attendees. We appreciate that the judges took note of the team's
creativity and attention to detail," explained Kelli Castellano, senior
vice president of marketing and communications.
Desiree Vale, manager, executive suite, commented on her gold Stevie
award: "I am so honored that the QSI management team believes in me to

done."

SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This news release may contain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the federal securities laws, including but not limited to,
statements regarding future events, developments in the healthcare
sector and regulatory framework, 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, net income, and earnings per share).
Risks and uncertainties exist that may cause the results to differ
materially from those set forth in these forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause the anticipated results to differ from those
described in the forward-looking statements and additional risks and
uncertainties are set forth in Part I, Item A of our most recent Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, including
but not limited to: the volume and timing of systems sales and
installations; length of sales cycles and the installation process; the
possibility that products will not achieve or sustain market acceptance;
seasonal patterns of sales and customer buying behavior; impact of
incentive payments under The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on
sales and the ability of the Company to meet continued certification
requirements; 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; changes of accounting estimates and assumptions used to
prepare the prior periods' financial statements; and general economic
conditions. A significant portion of the Company's quarterly sales of
software product licenses and computer hardware is concluded in the last
month of a 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.
