Insights
The launch of NALS (Neonatal Advanced Life Support) represents a significant market opportunity and competitive advantage for HealthStream. The program strategically addresses two critical market dynamics: the widespread existence of maternity care deserts and the high frequency of neonatal resuscitation needs (6 million cases annually).
The integration with HealthStream's hStream platform creates multiple revenue streams and strengthens the company's market position: 1) Direct certification revenue 2) Platform subscription fees 3) Cross-selling opportunities within their ecosystem. The automated certification management and primary-source verification capabilities provide substantial value to healthcare organizations, reducing administrative burden and compliance risks.
The adaptive learning approach is particularly noteworthy as it:
- Optimizes training efficiency for experienced clinicians
- Reduces training time and costs for healthcare organizations
- Improves engagement and knowledge retention
With over 1.5 million certifications already issued through their platform since 2019, the addition of NALS could significantly expand HealthStream's market penetration. The company's ability to deliver standardized, evidence-based training at scale, particularly in underserved areas, positions them favorably for continued growth in the healthcare workforce solutions market.
Through HealthStream’s provision of the Red Cross Resuscitation Suite portfolio to the nation’s hospitals and health systems via the Company’s industry-leading workforce platform, over 1.5 million resuscitation certifications have been earned since 2019 across its three areas of education: Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Life Support (ALS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). The Neonatal Advanced Life Support (NALS) program expands the overall Resuscitation Suite portfolio to add a critical fourth element of training and education.
The need for NALS has never been greater. With over 35 percent of
Like BLS, ALS, and PALS, the new NALS program emphasizes evidence-based practices and aligns with the Consensus on Science with Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR) of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), along with the American Red Cross Neonatal Advanced Life Support Healthcare Guidelines. “We believe the innovative NALS program and its broad availability through HealthStream’s platform will improve resuscitation outcomes of newborns across the nation’s healthcare organizations,” said Jack McMaster, President of American Red Cross Training Services.
HealthStream’s offering of NALS and the entire Resuscitation Suite portfolio is made available to healthcare organizations on its hStream® platform through the HealthStream Learning Center® application, which delivers superior program management tools. Managers are provided with a dashboard to easily see progress and interact with their direct reports to more easily improve compliance rates. Certificate management is seamless and made visible for students, instructors, and managers. The NALS certification will be immediately issued on successful completion of the program and then recorded and primary-source verified in the hStream-powered Professional Certification Service, which is accessible by other applications in real-time across the HealthStream ecosystem, including My Portfolio, Provider Portfolio, and authorized third-party partners. Importantly, the automated assignment engine and reporting capabilities are simple to use and save managers’ valuable time with little to no ramp-up time needed for getting started.
The “student” experience incorporates a modern approach to learning, taking into account the unique needs and experiences of neonatal clinicians. The need for resuscitation typically occurs more frequently among newborns than in other patient populations. According to the International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics, approximately 10 million babies don’t breathe at birth and about six million require basic neonatal resuscitation each year. As a consequence, this means that some neonatal clinicians may already have ample, real-life resuscitation proficiency. With the NALS program, an adaptive, tailored learning experience is easily provided whereby the clinicians’ learning is targeted to optimize their individual level of competency.
Students of NALS also benefit from the blended learning format with case-based learning scenarios where a deeper understanding of the concepts is gained. Such an approach is highly conducive to developing critical thinking abilities, while more deeply engaging the learner in the process.
“The addition of NALS to the American Red Cross Resuscitation Suite portfolio of training and education is a very positive step in our offering to the thousands of healthcare organizations in the
