Recognized for Achieving Meaningful Use

Inpatient facilities to be celebrated at annual Users' Group Meeting for
attestation under Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs
HORSHAM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 15, 2011--

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 will recognize several
critical access hospital clients for their successful Stage 1 Meaningful Use
attestation.

Bullock County Hospital, Union Springs, AL; Crenshaw Community Hospital,
Luverne, AL; King's Daughters' Hospital and Health Services, Yazoo City, MS;
Salem Township Hospital, Salem, IL; and Washington County Hospital, Nashville,
IL, will be recognized at the 2011 NextGen Healthcare Users' Group Meeting for
meeting all measures required under the Medicare or Medicaid EHR Incentive
Programs.

"Rural and community hospitals face distinct challenges relevant to the
adoption of healthcare IT," said Kim Larkin, MBA, CPHIMS, chief information
officer at Washington County Hospital. "Few vendors offer the technology and
resources we require to achieve such milestones, but having NextGen Healthcare
as our partner through this process was critical to our success."

Washington County Hospital selected NextGen(R) Inpatient Clinicals in the
spring of 2010 to complement its use of NextGen(R) Inpatient Financials and to
help the facility secure incentives introduced by the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA). NextGen Healthcare also worked closely with other
external vendors to help ensure a seamless integration with the hospital's
technology infrastructure. Washington County's ambulatory providers are
currently working towards Meaningful Use attestation using NextGen(R)
Ambulatory EHR. In addition, Washington County is implementing NextGen(TM)
Health Information Exchange, a critical tool for fulfilling the data exchange
requirements anticipated in Stage 2 Meaningful Use.

"The majority of Meaningful Use success stories to date come from large
hospitals and physician practices," noted Steve Puckett, executive vice
president and general manager at NextGen Inpatient Solutions. "These clients
are leaders in many ways when it comes to deploying healthcare technology, but
this milestone serves as a significant example to other community hospitals
that Meaningful Use is in fact achievable with the right technology, support
and partnership."

NextGen Healthcare's 2011 Users' Group Meeting is being held at the MGM
Grand(R) Hotel & Conference Center in Las Vegas, November 13 -- 16, with a
record attendance of more than 4,200 participants. The public can follow what
is happening at NextGen Healthcare's Users' Group Meeting on Twitter under the

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.
