MicroMed and DrFirst.com to Offer Rapid Deployment of NextGen Applications Using ASP Model
HORSHAM, Pa. — MicroMed Healthcare Information Systems Inc., a division of Quality Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:QSII - news), today announced that DrFirst.com has been named a "Preferred ASP Partner" of MicroMed.

Under the agreement, DrFirst.com purchased a global license to provide NextGen(emr), MicroMed's Electronic Medical Records software and NextGen(epm), MicroMed's Enterprise Practice Management software solutions to physician practice groups using an Application Service Provider ("ASP") business model.

DrFirst.com's proprietary deployment technology can make these traditionally high-end solutions affordable to small practices. DrFirst.com offers health care providers a comprehensive set of remotely managed Internet enabled practice management, communications and business productivity solutions. As an ASP, DrFirst.com hosts software applications at its facilities and leases use of them to its members. DrFirst.com manages the network, provides full Information Technology support to members, installs the system, and trains new users. The low monthly subscription fee saves DrFirst's members from being required to make an upfront cash outlay. DrFirst.com's solution is particularly appropriate for smaller physician practice groups that have not previously been able to afford top quality software solutions. DrFirst.com already has several practice groups "live" using the NextGen products.

The agreement also calls for DrFirst.com to provide certain Internet security solutions to MicroMed. DrFirst.com created the solutions with technology developed by its business partner, V-ONE Corporation (Nasdaq:VONE - news).

"DrFirst.com has made a significant commitment to the market and to best-of-breed solutions," said Patrick Cline, President of MicroMed. "The relationship allows MicroMed to expand market share and add incremental revenue using the ASP business model. We are impressed by DrFirst.com's Internet security and wireless messaging solutions, and we look forward to offering their solutions to our customers."

"We spent a great deal of time studying the various physician practice management and electronic medical records software packages, and we determined that the MicroMed products were the best," said James F. Chen, Chairman and CEO of DrFirst.com. "We are pleased to offer these quality software applications to our members. We believe there is a great deal of synergy between our companies, and we look forward to working closely with MicroMed in the future."

Quality Systems Inc. is a developer and provider of computer-based practice management and medical records systems for medical and dental group practices.

DrFirst.com is an IT service provider helping physicians and dentists benefit from the latest hardware and software which will best serve the needs of the individual practitioner.
