Reporting capabilities and hospital experience drive selection of NextGen® to support patients throughout central Mississippi
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, announced today that Montfort Jones Memorial Hospital (MJMH) has selected NextGen® Inpatient Clinicals and NextGen® Inpatient Financials as key components of its transition to an automated healthcare information technology (HIT) platform.
Kosciusko, Miss.-based MJMH serves the rural communities of central Mississippi with its facility licensed for 71 beds. MJMH worked with the Mississippi Hospital Association to identify the most compatible solution for a small, rural hospital with limited IT resources. Impressed with NextGen Healthcare’s web-based system, reporting capabilities and volume of hospital installations, MJMH chose NextGen® inpatient solutions for both its clinical and financial platforms. Implementation is scheduled to begin in early 2012 and coincide with the opening of two new nursing units at the hospital.
“As our facility continues to modernize and expand, switching to an integrated electronic health records and financial management system is central to our growth strategy,” said John Dawson, chief executive officer for Montfort Jones Memorial Hospital. “One critical outcome we expect from using NextGen is better communication with local physician offices. For example, after a patient visits the MJMH emergency room, his primary care doctor can now quickly view his patient’s hospital record and stay up-to-date on treatments and tests performed at the hospital. These advancements in care coordination will benefit patients and providers across our region.”
“NextGen’s advanced information management and clinical reporting capabilities, built specifically for inpatient facilities, will also allow MJMH to keep current with new government requirements and programs in healthcare such as Meaningful Use,” said Steve Puckett, executive president of NextGen Healthcare’s inpatient solutions division. “Our extensive hospital experience coupled with the penetration of our comprehensive and easy-to-use solutions within this market segment affords us the opportunity to effectively automate across the continuum of care.”

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.
