Insights

This strategic acquisition strengthens HealthStream's market position in clinical rotation management with a relatively modest investment of up to $2.25 million total for both acquisitions. The deal structure includes earnout provisions, reducing upfront risk while incentivizing performance. With over 285,000 clinical rotations facilitated this year through myClinicalExchange alone, these acquisitions expand geographic coverage and create network effects in Tennessee, Oklahoma and surrounding states.

The acquisitions complement HealthStream's 2020 purchase of myClinicalExchange, demonstrating a clear strategy to dominate the clinical placement market. This consolidation should drive operational efficiencies and create barriers to entry. The business model benefits from recurring revenue streams as healthcare organizations and schools require ongoing placement services. While the immediate financial impact appears minimal given HealthStream's $892 million market cap, the long-term strategic value lies in strengthening their ecosystem and expanding their addressable market.

Total Clinical Placement System and The Clinical Hub join with HealthStream’s myClinicalExchange™ to broaden the Company’s ability to connect the future healthcare workforce with the healthcare organizations that want to hire them.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- HealthStream (Nasdaq: HSTM), a leading healthcare technology platform for workforce solutions, today announced that it has acquired two leading clinical rotation management businesses: Total Clinical Placement System (“TCPS”) and The Clinical Hub, Inc. Coupled with myClinicalExchange™, HealthStream’s application for students’ clinical rotations acquired in 2020, the Company has meaningfully enlarged its footprint among nursing and allied healthcare students as they prepare for careers in healthcare.

Every year in the U.S., nursing and allied healthcare students are required to fulfill clinical rotations in a healthcare organization (primarily hospitals) as part of their educational programs. Hospitals and schools are responsible for managing the placement of students into clinical rotations, including scheduling, onboarding, tracking, and ensuring compliance of students and ensuring that proper credentials are in place for their working in their organizations with patients. Both TCPS and The Clinical Hub, as well as HealthStream’s myClinicalExchange application, help to streamline these processes for students, schools and healthcare organizations in this critical area of workforce management.

Already this year, HealthStream’s myClinicalExchange application has helped healthcare organizations and academic institutions facilitate over 285,000 clinical rotations for nursing and allied healthcare students, nationwide. With the additions of TCPS and The Clinical Hub, HealthStream will further expand its geographic coverage in Tennessee, and surrounding states, and in Oklahoma, enhancing clinical placement options for hospitals, schools, and students.

“HealthStream’s leadership in the healthcare workforce sector is unparalleled and, therefore, they are ideally positioned to bring additional opportunities to the students, schools, and healthcare facilities that use TCPS,” said Pam Taylor, Chief Executive Officer, TCPS. Similarly, Jim Durbin, President of The Clinical Hub, added, “Our clients will continue to receive the benefits they enjoy from The Clinical Hub while now gaining access to HealthStream’s ecosystem of workforce solutions that increasingly bridges the gap between school and practice.” Both Taylor and Durbin expressed confidence and gratitude that customers would continue to enjoy the same quality of uninterrupted service while beginning to see new and additional benefits with HealthStream over time.

“By adding the highly respected businesses of TCPS and The Clinical Hub to HealthStream, along with the continued growth of the myClinicalExchange application, we strengthen our position in supporting the development of future clinicians by working closely with academic institutions and healthcare organizations to efficiently facilitate clinical placement of students in rotations,” said Scott McQuigg, Senior Vice President, Digital & Network Solutions, HealthStream.
