Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND EQUITY | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND EQUITY Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee's or non-employee director's requisite service period. The following table details total stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, included in the condensed consolidated statements of income:

The Company's stock-based compensation awards are in the form of restricted stock and performance share awards granted pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated 2019 Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). As of September 30, 2023, there was $7.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested and unearned, as applicable, stock-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. Restricted Stock The Company grants restricted stock to executive officers, certain key employees and non-employee directors under the Plan with the fair value of the awards representing the fair value of the common stock on the date the restricted stock is granted. During the vesting period, recipients of restricted stock are entitled to dividends and possess voting rights. Shares of restricted stock generally vest in equal annual installments over the applicable vesting period, which ranges from one to three years. The Company records expenses for these grants on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting periods. A summary of restricted stock activity under the Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:
| Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 |  | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 |  |
| Shares |  | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share |  | Shares |  | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share |  |  |  |
Unvested restricted stock outstanding at beginning of period | 281,161 |  |  | $ | 32.24 |  |  | 314,883 |  |  | $ | 29.79 |  |  |  |  |
Granted | 210,351 |  |  | 26.44 |  |  | 161,375 |  |  | 34.22 |  |  |  |  |
Vested | (145,529) |  |  | 31.35 |  |  | (181,405) |  |  | 29.79 |  |  |  |  |
Forfeited | (2,668) |  |  | 29.23 |  |  | (8,936) |  |  | 31.60 |  |  |  |  |
Unvested restricted stock outstanding at end of period | 343,315 |  |  | $ | 29.08 |  |  | 285,917 |  |  | $ | 32.23 |  |  |  |  |
Performance Share Awards The Company grants performance share awards to executive officers and certain key employees under the Plan, with the number of shares of common stock earned and issuable under each award determined at the end of a three-year performance period, based on the Company's achievement of performance goals predetermined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the time of grant. These performance share awards include a modifier to the total number of shares earned based on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") compared to a small-cap stock market index. If certain levels of the performance objective are met, the award results in the issuance of shares of common stock corresponding to such level. Performance share awards that result in the issuance of shares of common stock are not subject to time-based vesting at the conclusion of the three-year performance period. In the event that the Company's financial performance meets the predetermined targets for the performance objectives of the performance share awards, the Company will issue each award recipient the number of shares of common stock equal to the target award specified in the individual's underlying performance share award agreement. In the event the financial results of the Company exceed the predetermined targets, additional shares up to the maximum award may be issued. In the event the financial results of the Company fall below the predetermined targets, a reduced number of shares may be issued. If the financial results of the Company fall below the threshold performance levels, no shares may be issued. The total number of shares issued for the performance share award may be increased, decreased, or unchanged based on the TSR modifier described above. The recipients of performance share awards do not receive dividends or possess voting rights during the performance period and, accordingly, the fair value of the performance share awards is the quoted market value of CPSI's common stock on the grant date less the present value of the expected dividends not received during the relevant period. The TSR modifier applicable to the performance share awards is considered a market condition and therefore is reflected in the grant date fair value of the award. A Monte Carlo simulation has been used to account for this market condition in the grant date fair value of the award. Expense related to performance share awards is recognized using ratable straight-line amortization over the three-year performance period. In the event the Company determines it is no longer probable that the minimum performance level will be achieved, all previously recognized compensation expense related to the applicable awards is reversed in the period such a determination is made. A summary of performance share award activity under the Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is as follows, based on the target award amounts set forth in the performance share award agreements:
| Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 |  | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 |  |
| Shares |  | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share |  | Shares |  | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share |  |  |  |

Stock Repurchases On September 4, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program under which we were authorized to repurchase up to $30.0 million of our common stock through September 3, 2022. On July 27, 2022, the Board of Directors extended the expiration date of the stock repurchase program to September 4, 2024. We repurchased 49,789 shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 212,299 shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be repurchased under the stock repurchase program was $16.5 million as of September 30, 2023. Any future stock repurchase transactions may be made through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any repurchase activity will depend on many factors, such as the availability of shares of our common stock, general market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, alternative uses for capital, the Company’s financial performance, compliance with the terms of our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and other factors. Concurrent with the authorization of this stock repurchase program in September 2020, the Board of Directors opted to indefinitely suspend all quarterly dividends. In addition to shares repurchased under the approved stock repurchase program, we purchased 39,716 shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 52,905 shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to fund required tax withholdings related to the vesting of restricted stock. Shares withheld to cover required tax withholdings related to the vesting of restricted stock do not reduce our total share repurchase authority.
