Quality Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSII) announced today that its chairman of the board and founder, Sheldon Razin, was named the winner in the software category of TechAmerica's 52nd annual Innovator Awards, which honors eight innovators representing different industry segments for their contributions to the technology industry.

“We received lots of nominations for these prestigious awards, and we congratulate Shelly for his winning achievement”

"We received lots of nominations for these prestigious awards, and we congratulate Shelly for his winning achievement," said TechAmerica president and CEO Phil Bond. "TechAmerica is excited to highlight Shelly as he continues to influence technology development throughout the rest of the world."

"It is a privilege to be recognized by TechAmerica for the vision we first had back in 1976 to automate dental practices, which eventually led to the development of our robust electronic health records solutions. Today, Quality Systems holds a leadership position in the healthcare information technology sector. It is hard to believe that more than 35 years ago, we identified the need for automating the healthcare platform. Now, with the introduction of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA), the U.S. Government also realizes the importance. Quality Systems is at the forefront of meeting the electronic healthcare needs for physicians, dentists and small hospital systems," Razin said.

Steven T. Plochocki, Quality Systems' chief executive officer, added: "The entire Quality Systems team extends sincerest congratulations to Shelly on this significant acknowledgement. Three decades ago, Shelly recognized the importance of automated health records and since that time, this market segment has evolved considerably. We appreciate Shelly's ongoing leadership and continued dedication to the company and industry and are proud of his contributions and accomplishments."

Razin received his award at TechAmerica's David Packard Medal of Achievement and Innovator Awards 52nd Annual Dinner held on Monday, October 11, 2010 at the Four Seasons Hotel in East Palo Alto, Calif., during which time the winners were announced. Since 1959, the event has featured TechAmerica's highest award, the David Packard Medal of Achievement, to honor significant lifetime contributors and pioneers of the high-tech industry. Innovator Awards are also bestowed upon eight innovators representing different industry segments. The Innovator Awards are for the person rather than the innovation or the company. The TechAmerica Commercial Policy Board voted on the nominations to select one winner in each of the following categories: Clean Tech/Green Tech/Smart Grid; Cloud Computing; Cyber Security; Internet; Medical Devices; and Software.
