ITEM 5.	OTHER EVENTS.

        On February 12, 1997, the Board of Directors of Quality Systems, Inc.
(the "Company") authorized the repurchase on the open market of up to ten 
percent of its outstanding common stock at various times within the next twelve
months, subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations.  The timing
and amount of any repurchase will be at the discretion of the Company's
management based upon its view of prevailing economic and market conditions.  
Repurchased shares would be held as treasury stock available for future 
issuance by the Company.

        The statements above about the potential stock repurchase are forward-
looking statements and actual results could differ materially from those 
anticipated as a result of various factors.  The Company's management could, in
the exercise of its judgment, decide not to effect any repurchases, or to 
repurchase fewer shares than authorized, either as a result of market 
factors or because of applicable laws and regulations.  There is no assurance
that any shares will be repurchased, or that any repurchases will have a 
positive market impact.
