Description of Business
Quality Systems, Inc. ("QSI") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries operate as four business divisions (each, a "Division") which are comprised of: (i) the QSI Dental Division, (ii) the NextGen Division, (iii) the Hospital Solutions Division and (iv) the RCM Services Division. QSI also includes a captive entity in India called Quality Systems India Healthcare Private Limited (“QSIH”) (collectively, with QSI and the four Divisions, the "Company"). The Company primarily derives revenue by developing and marketing healthcare information systems that automate certain aspects of medical and dental practices, networks of practices such as physician hospital organizations (“PHOs”) and management service organizations (“MSOs”), ambulatory care centers, community health centers and medical and dental schools along with comprehensive systems implementation, maintenance and support and add-on complementary services such as revenue cycle management (“RCM”) and electronic data interchange (“EDI”). The Company's systems and services provide its customers with the ability to redesign patient care and other workflow processes while improving productivity through the facilitation of managed access to patient information. Utilizing its proprietary software in combination with third party hardware and software solutions, the Company's products enable the integration of a variety of administrative and clinical information operations. The Company's scalable interoperability and population health offerings help to improve care collaboration, quality and safety. Enabled by the Company's interoperability solutions, data-driven patient population healthcare management decisions can assist in creating more desirable operational, clinical, and financial outcomes that substantiate the value of patient-centered and accountable care models.
The Company was founded with an early focus on providing information systems to dental group practices. This focus area would later become the QSI Dental Division. In the mid-1980’s, the Company capitalized on the increasing focus on medical cost containment and further expanded its information processing systems to serve the ambulatory market. In the mid-1990’s, the Company made two acquisitions that accelerated its penetration of the ambulatory market and formed the basis for the NextGen Division. In the last few years, the Company acquired several companies, including Sphere Health Systems, Inc. ("Sphere"), Opus Healthcare Solutions, LLC ("Opus"), IntraNexus, Inc. ("IntraNexus"), CQI Solutions, Inc. ("CQI"), ViaTrack Systems, LLC ("ViaTrack"), Matrix Management Solutions, LLC (“Matrix”), and The Poseidon Group ("Poseidon"), as part of its strategy to enhance its EDI and RCM services capabilities as well as expand into the small and specialty hospital market. More recently the Company acquired Mirth Corporation ("Mirth") and Gennius, Inc. ("Gennius"), both of which operate under the NextGen Division. Mirth enhances the Company's current enterprise interoperability initiatives and broadens its accountable and collaborative care, population health, disease management and clinical data exchange offerings. Gennius is expected to enhance the Company's current healthcare data enterprise analytics competencies while broadening business intelligence capabilities for addressing new value-based care requirements. Today, the Company serves the dental, ambulatory, hospital and RCM services markets through its four business Divisions.
The QSI Dental Division, co-located with the Corporate Headquarters in Irvine, California, currently focuses on developing, marketing and supporting software suites sold to dental organizations located throughout the US.
The NextGen Division, with headquarters in Horsham, Pennsylvania and significant locations in Atlanta, Georgia and Costa Mesa, California, provides integrated clinical, financial and connectivity solutions for ambulatory and dental provider organizations.
The Hospital Solutions Division, with its primary location in Austin, Texas, provides integrated clinical, financial and connectivity solutions for rural and community hospitals.
The RCM Services Division, with locations in St. Louis, Missouri, North Canton, Ohio, South Jordan, Utah and Hunt Valley, Maryland, focuses primarily on providing physician practices with RCM services, primarily billing and collection services for medical practices. This Division combines a web-delivered Software as a Service ("SaaS") model and the Company's practice management software platform to execute its service offerings.
QSIH, located in Bangalore, India, functions as the Company's India-based captive entity to offshore technology application development and business processing services.
A growing number of customers are simultaneously utilizing software or services from more than one of the Company's four Divisions. In an effort to further enhance the Company's ability to cross sell products and services between Divisions, the Company in the process of further integrating its ambulatory and hospital products to provide a more robust and comprehensive platform to offer customers. To achieve greater efficiency and integration within the Company's operations, the divisional sales, marketing, information services, and software development responsibilities have been consolidated into single company-wide roles. The Divisions also share the resources of a “corporate office,” which includes a variety of accounting and other administrative functions. The Company continues to evaluate its organizational structure with the objective of achieving greater synergies and further integration of its products and services, including software implementation and customer support functions.
