(NASDAQ: QSII), announced today that on March 31, 2017, Mr. Dan Morefield tendered his resignation as the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, effective April 15, 2017. Mr. Morefield has served as a member of the Company’s executive team since 2012.

In this expanded role, Scott will focus on ensuring tight coordination between our RCM operations and our Client Success team, to provide an even more seamless and simplified experience for our clients.

Mr. Bostick joined NextGen as EVP, Chief Client Officer early in CY2016. Before joining NextGen, he served as the Senior Vice President leading the America's Commercial Organization for CareFusion, 2009-2015. Prior to that Bostick served in a number of VP and General Manager roles leading business units for Cardinal Health, 1998-2009.

“These organizational changes are the next step in the evolution of our company, as we position NextGen for success in the new world of value-based healthcare,” said Rusty Frantz, President and CEO. “They will enable us to more effectively deliver the entire NextGen portfolio of software and services across our significant client base.
