History
Quality Systems, Inc. (QSI) was formed in 1973 in Irvine, California, as a dental software company. In 1994, Clinitec was formed by Pat Cline and Bryan Rosenberger to sell software for converting paper medical records into electronic medical records. Clinitec was purchased by QSI in 1996.
In 1997, QSI merged with Micromed, which provided front- and back-office practice management software. In 2001, QSI combined Clinitec and Micromed to create NextGen Healthcare Information Systems.
In 2008, NextGen Healthcare then acquired HSI of St. Louis, Missouri, and Practice Management Partners of Hunt Valley, Maryland, to expand its billing services and revenue cycle consulting division.
In 2009, NextGen Healthcare updated the name of its electronic medical record system from NextGen EMR to NextGen EHR.
In February 2010, QSI entered into an agreement to acquire Opus Healthcare Solutions, Inc. and announced it would be integrated with the assets of Sphere Health Systems, Inc., which were acquired by QSI in August 2009. Both software and services companies for the inpatient market would become part of NextGen Healthcare.
In October 2010, NextGen Ambulatory EHR v.5.6.SP1 earned certification for Stage 1 Meaningful Use to support eligible providers in receiving funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
