Item 5.     Other Events.

     On February 12, 1997, the Board of Directors of Quality Systems, Inc. 
(the "Company") authorized the repurchase on the open market of up to ten
percent of its outstanding common stock at various times through February
12, 1998, subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations (the
"Stock Repurchase").  The timing and amount of any repurchase was at the
discretion of the Company's management.  Through February 8, 1998, the Company
had repurchased 40,100 shares.  On February 9, 1998, the Company's Board of
Directors authorized an extension of the Stock Repurchase through
February 9, 1999.

     The statements above about the potential repurchase of shares of the
Company's Common Stock are forwarded-looking statements and actual results
could differ materially from those anticipated as a result of various factors.
The Company's management could, in the exercise of its judgment, decide not
to effect any additional repurchases, or to repurchase fewer shares than
authorized.  There is no assurance that any repurchase will have a positive
market impact.
