History
Quality Systems, Inc. (QSI) was formed by Sheldon Razin in 1974 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.
