Quality Systems, Inc.'s Mirth Subsidiary Releases Mirth Connect 3.0 Open Source Healthcare Integration Engine
New capabilities focus on guaranteed delivery, performance and
configurability
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Quality
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:QSII), a provider of electronic health records
(EHR), practice management and revenue cycle management solutions as
well as connectivity products and services for medical and dental group
practices, small hospitals and community health centers, announced today
that its wholly owned subsidiary, Mirth,
a global leader in health information technology that helps clients
achieve interoperability, released Mirth® Connect 3.0. Mirth
Connect is an open source healthcare integration engine,
specifically designed for HL7 message integration. It provides the
necessary tools for developing, testing, deploying and monitoring
interfaces. Its open source license model provides the advantages of a
large community of users with enterprise-class commercial support.
Mirth Connect 3.0 adds hundreds of new features to Mirth Connect 2.2. It
features a new internal messaging engine that focuses on guaranteed
delivery, performance, and configurability. Some key features and
benefits of the new release include:
-
Guaranteed delivery — reduces the time and expense of
monitoring and reprocessing failed messages; with Mirth Connect 3.0,
received messages are guaranteed to be sent to their destination(s)
-
System-wide queuing and automatic message recovery — both
greatly increase interface reliability, enable "hands off" operation
of the interfaces, and increase interface uptime
-
Improved configurable message storage — this new ability can
decrease message data storage, thereby increasing performance and
reducing disk storage and costs
-
Message archiving — helps meet message storage policy
requirements by removing old messages from the production system while
archiving them elsewhere; thus improving performance while providing
message retention
-
Improved message browser and channel dashboard — improves
productivity by easing and simplifying deployed interface operation
and management
-
New Web-based dashboard — easier "at-a-glance" monitoring
information and processing statistics for each interface
-
Custom message metadata indexing and searching — provides
significant time savings when developing interfaces; eliminates custom
database modification, which results in easier interface development
message search
"The release of Mirth Connect 3.0 furthers Mirth's commitment to
continually provide the most innovative, open source interoperability
tool in the Health IT market," said Jon Teichrow, president of Quality
Systems' Mirth subsidiary. "This advanced interface engine provides a
platform that helps speed information and transform clinical processes
so clients can save money and improve productivity. It helps our clients
respond with agility to the demands of a rapidly evolving healthcare
environment."

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, 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
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.
