This letter responds to comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) conveyed to the Company orally on July 10, 2012 regarding the above-referenced revised Preliminary Proxy Statement filed on June 9, 2012 by Quality Systems, Inc. (the “Company”).

Set forth below is a response to the Staff’s comment, as conveyed to the Company orally, based on information provided by the Company.

*********************

 

  1. Please supplementally advise the Staff how a shareholder of record would provide instructions to the Company in order to allocate votes. Similarly, please provide a detailed explanation about how a holder in street name would provide instructions in order to allocate votes.

Response: The Company supplementally advises the Staff that a registered shareholder may provide written instructions about how to allocate votes by parenthetically or otherwise marking the number of votes the shareholder wishes to allocate to particular nominees next to the name of the particular nominee on the proxy card or by enclosing, along with the proxy card, separate instructions to this

effect. This mechanism is only available for registered shareholders who mail in their proxy card, and is not available for shareholders who grant a proxy using the telephone or internet, which do not support this function. Shareholders who hold shares in street name must contact their broker or other nominee (a “custodian”) using the contact information contained in the materials sent by the custodian to such shareholders for instructions on how to allocate votes. Each custodian has its own procedures and requirements in place, which may be vary and over which the Company has no control.

We are grateful for your assistance in this matter. Please address any comments or questions with respect to the foregoing to me at (650) 752-2007.
