The story

Founded 1974 as Quality Systems, Inc. — one of the earliest players to digitize ambulatory health records. Rebranded to NextGen Healthcare in 2018 and repositioned as a cloud-based EHR + PM + RCM platform for ambulatory practices. Taken private by Thoma Bravo in 2023 in a $1.8B deal, accelerating the shift toward AI-powered clinical workflows, embedded patient payments (via InstaMed), and RCM services (via Waystar partnership).
