Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and include all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the periods presented. All such adjustments are considered of a normal recurring nature. Quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
Certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at that date. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Computer Programs and Systems, Inc. ("CPSI" or the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Commencing with the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company realigned its reporting structure due to certain organizational changes. As a result, the Company changed its three reportable segments from (i) TruBridge, (ii) Acute Care Electronic Health Record ("EHR"), and (iii) Post-acute Care EHR to (i) Revenue Cycle Management ("RCM"), (ii) EHR, and (iii) Patient engagement. All prior segment information has been recast to reflect the Company's new segment structure and current period presentation. Refer to Note 17 - Segment Reporting for more information.
During the first quarter of 2023, we identified certain costs related to the implementation of our cloud strategy and our security operations center that were recorded within the caption "Costs of Sales - EHR" on our condensed consolidated statements of income, that we determined do not solely contribute to the production of EHR products and services, but support the overall business. Consequently, effective January 1, 2023, certain costs related to the implementation of our cloud strategy, which were formerly included within the caption "Costs of Sales - EHR" have been recorded as components of "Operating expenses - Product development". In addition, certain costs related to the Company's security operations center, which were formerly included within the caption "Costs of Sales - EHR" have been recorded as components of "Operating expenses - General and administrative". Additionally, immaterial travel costs were reclassified from within the caption "Costs of Sales - RCM" to "Operating expenses - Product development". Amounts presented for the three months ended March 31, 2022 have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
In addition, during the first quarter of 2023, we refined our operating expense allocation methodology to more accurately distribute the appropriate share of costs among operating segments. Amounts presented for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are reflective of the current operating expense methodology in order to conform to the current presentation.
The following table provides the amounts reclassified and the impact of applying the current operating expense allocation methodology for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of CPSI include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Recent Account Pronouncements RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
New Accounting Standards Adopted in 2023

There were no new accounting standards required to be adopted in 2023 that would have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Standards Yet to be Adopted

We do not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if adopted, would have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to clients in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products and services. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. The Company employs the 5-step revenue recognition model under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to: (1) identify the contract with the client, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Revenue is recognized net of shipping charges and any taxes collected from clients, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
•Revenue Cycle Management
Our RCM business unit provides an array of business processing services ("BPS") consisting of accounts receivable management, private pay services, insurance services, medical coding, electronic billing, statement processing, payroll processing, and contract management. Fees are recognized over the period of the client contractual relationship as the services are performed based on the stand-alone selling price ("SSP"), net of discounts. SSP for BPS services is determined based on observable stand-alone selling prices. Fees for many of these services are invoiced, and revenue recognized accordingly, based on the volume of transactions or a percentage of client accounts receivable collections. Payment is due monthly for BPS with certain amounts varying based on utilization and/or volumes.
Our RCM business unit also provides professional IT services. Revenue from professional IT services is recognized as the services are performed based on SSP, which is determined by observable stand-alone selling prices. Payment is due monthly as services are performed.
Lastly, our RCM business unit also provides certain software solutions and related support under Software as a Service ("SaaS") arrangements and time-based software licenses. Revenue from SaaS arrangements is recognized in a manner consistent with SaaS arrangements for EHR software, as discussed below. Revenue from time-based software licenses is recognized upon delivery to the client (“point in time”) and revenue from non-license components (i.e., support) is recognized ratably over the respective contract term (“over time”). SSP for time-based licenses is determined using the residual approach, while the non-license component is based on cost plus reasonable margin.
•Electronic Health Records
The Company enters into contractual obligations to sell perpetual software licenses, installation, conversion, and related training services, software application support, hardware, and hardware maintenance services to acute care community hospitals and post-acute providers.
•Non-recurring Revenues
•Perpetual software licenses and installation, conversion, and related training services are not considered separate and distinct performance obligations due to the proprietary nature of our software and are, therefore, accounted for as a single performance obligation on a module-by-module basis. Revenue is recognized as each module's implementation is completed based on the module's SSP, net of discounts. We determine each module's SSP using the residual method. Fees for licenses and installation, conversion, and related training services are typically due in three installments: (1) at placement of order, (2) upon installation of software and commencement of training, and (3) upon satisfactory completion of monthly accounting cycle or end-of-month operation by application and as applicable for each application. Often, short-term and/or long-term financing arrangements are provided for software implementations; refer to Note 11 - Financing Receivables for further information. EHR implementations include a system warranty that terminates thirty days from the software go-live date, the date which the client begins using the system in a live environment.
•Hardware revenue is recognized separately from software licenses at the point in time it is delivered to the client. The SSP of hardware is cost plus a reasonable margin and revenue is recognized on a gross basis. Payment is generally due upon delivery of the hardware to the client. Standard manufacturer warranties apply to hardware.
•Recurring Revenues
•Software application support and hardware maintenance services sold with software licenses and hardware are separate and distinct performance obligations. Revenue for support and maintenance services is recognized based on SSP, which is the renewal price, ratably over the life of the contract, which is generally three to five years. Payment is due monthly for support and maintenance services provided.
•Subscriptions to third-party content revenue is recognized as a separate performance obligation ratably over the subscription term based on SSP, which is cost plus a reasonable margin, and revenue is recognized on a gross basis. Payment is due monthly for subscriptions to third party content.
•SaaS arrangements for EHR software and related conversion and training services are considered a single performance obligation. Revenue is recognized on a monthly basis as the SaaS service is provided to the client over the contract term. Payment is due monthly for SaaS services provided.
Refer to Note 17 of the consolidated financial statements for further information, including revenue by client base (acute care or post-acute care) bifurcated by recurring and non-recurring revenue.
•Patient Engagement
The Company enters into contractual obligations to sell perpetual and term-based software licenses, implementation and customization professional services, and software application support services to a variety of healthcare organizations including hospital systems, health ministries, and government and non-profit organizations.
•Non-recurring Revenues
•Perpetual software licenses are sold only to one re-seller client and are considered a separate and distinct performance obligation. Revenue is recognized at the point in time perpetual licenses are delivered to the client, which occurs at the time of sale. The SSP of perpetual licenses is directly observable. Payment is generally due upon delivery of licenses.
•Implementation and customization services are considered a separate and distinct performance obligation. Revenue is recognized over time based on SSP, which is generally directly observable. Payment for professional services is typically due in two installments: (1) upon signature of the agreement and (2) upon customer acceptance of the delivered services.
•Recurring Revenues
•Term-based software licenses are considered a separate and distinct performance obligation. Revenue is recognized based on SSP, which is directly observable, at the point in time the term-based licenses
are delivered to the client or upon annual renewal. Payment is generally due upon delivery of licenses or upon annual renewal.
•Software application support services sold with software licenses are separate and distinct performance obligations. The related revenues are recognized based on SSP, which is the renewal price, ratably over the life of the contract, which is generally three to five years. Payment is generally due for the full amount of annual support fees at the beginning of an annual license term.
Refer to Note 17 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents amounts invoiced to clients for which the services under contract have not been completed and revenue has not been recognized, including annual renewals of certain software subscriptions and customer deposits for implementations to be performed at a later date. Revenue is recognized ratably over the life of the software subscriptions as services are provided and at the point-in-time when implementations have been completed.
The deferred revenue recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2023 is comprised primarily of the annual renewals of certain software subscriptions billed during the first quarter of each year and deposits collected for future EHR installations. The deferred revenue recognized as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is comprised primarily of the periodic recognition of annual renewals that were deferred until earned and deposits for future EHR installations that were deferred until earned.
Costs to Obtain and Fulfill a Contract with a Customer
Costs to obtain a contract include the commission costs related to SaaS and RCM arrangements, which are capitalized and amortized ratably over the expected life of the customer. As a practical expedient, we generally recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset would have been one year or less. Costs to obtain a contract are expensed within the caption "Operating expenses - Sales and marketing" in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
Contract fulfillment costs related to the implementation of SaaS arrangements are capitalized and amortized ratably over the expected life of the customer. Costs to fulfill contracts consist of the payroll costs for the implementation of SaaS arrangements, including time for training, conversions, and installation that is necessary for the software to be utilized. Contract fulfillment costs are expensed within the caption "Costs of sales - EHR" in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
Costs to obtain and fulfill contracts related to SaaS and RCM arrangements are included within the "Prepaid expenses and other" and "Other assets, net of current portion" line items on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Remaining Performance ObligationsDisclosures regarding remaining performance obligations are not considered material as the overwhelming majority of the Company's remaining performance obligations either (a) are related to contracts with an expected duration of one year or less, or (b) exhibit revenue recognition in the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice.
Net Income Per Share
The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") data for its common stock. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the net income attributable to stockholders of the Company and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares, including awards under stock-based compensation arrangements.
The Company's unvested restricted stock awards (see Note 10) are considered participating securities under ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, because they entitle holders to non-forfeitable rights to dividends until the awards vest or are forfeited. When a company has a security that qualifies as a "participating security," the Codification requires the use of the two-class method when computing basic EPS. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. In determining the amount of net income to allocate to common stockholders, income is allocated to both common stock and participating securities based on their respective weighted average shares outstanding for the period, with net income attributable to common stockholders ultimately equaling net income less net income attributable to participating securities. Diluted EPS for the Company's common stock is computed using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the treasury stock method.
Income Taxes The Company determines the tax provision for interim periods using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment.
Fair Value
FASB Codification topic, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Codification does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The Codification requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
