Promote the best possible outcome for every mother & child
According to the American Medical Association, the U.S. continues to face a concerning challenge in maternal mortality rates. This inequity is particularly pronounced when comparing patients from different racial and ethnic groups within the country.
HealthStream’s Quality OB program provides an effective OB-focused learning series that ensures your team can promote the best possible outcome for every mother and child and has been structured according to the Joint Commission, ACOG, AIM, and state initiatives. This program includes competency-based modules related to high-risk patient safety issues that have been proven to reduce obstetrical risk through right-size learning and effective practice tools.
Quality OB allows you to select your playbook with course bundles tailored to audiences and personas, such as OB Complete, Rural Health/Critical Access Hospitals, ED Essentials, and Medical Practice, and includes Behavioral Health Bundles alongside each package. Elevate your learning journey with a program that goes beyond the generic, catering to the specific educational needs of curated audiences.
Provide essential support for confidence in care
In the dynamic environment of healthcare, clinicians are entrusted with diverse responsibilities. Providing evidence-based support is crucial to safety – especially when they encounter situations that challenge their confidence. We are proud to partner with EBSCO to provide the gold standard in clinical decision support. Dynamic Health provides evidence-based content for point-of-care decisions, while our integrated, easy-to-use platform allows clinicians to quickly access evidence-based learning and content to earn CE credit and access skills checklists. Our partnership creates the #1 nursing clinical decision support solution available.
Optimize sedation practices enterprise-wide
Committed to providing education and training to optimize patient outcomes, the American Red Cross Procedural Sedation for Adults and Pediatrics courses were developed in collaboration with the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). These courses feature the most current science and evidence-based practices consistent with ASA and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines for safe sedation at a moderate level.
With a strong focus on patient safety and risk mitigation, these courses meet the moderate sedation standards and regulatory requirements as directed by The Joint Commission and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Train to a higher standard
With a proven track record spanning nearly two decades, we’ve helped healthcare organizations efficiently deliver resuscitation training. We’re proud to offer an unparalleled learning experience that spans beyond a cardiac focus in collaboration with the American Red Cross.
Based on the latest, most advanced resuscitation science, the American Red Cross Resuscitation Suite™ instills confidence in the precision of your team’s training with hStream-certified manikins that offer real-time feedback, flexibility to set your own standards for practice frequency by team or department, and easily accessible insights.
Address the variability in new graduate readiness
A recent year-long HealthStream study conducted amongst new graduates at a large health system revealed substantial variability of knowledge and clinical judgment across multiple geographies. To ensure a safe, successful transition to practice, your new graduates must have the necessary support and guidance.
Our Nurse Residency program offers a 6-, 9-, or 12-month cohort with intensive blended learning, followed by ongoing monthly sessions of curriculum designed to build on what the resident nurse is experiencing in clinical practice. The customizable curriculum, evidence-based courseware, robust data dashboards, and automated reporting allow leaders to make informed decisions to develop each resident where they need it most.
Prepare for infrequent but potentially devasting obstetrical emergencies
Obstetrical emergencies are rare—fortunately. But that rarity makes it difficult for clinicians to be maximally prepared when one does occur. The only way to be ready for such events is to practice. The OB Safety SIMS program is an excellent program to layer with Quality OB and was strategically developed to offer frequent, simulated training that can be practiced with minimal equipment on a labor and delivery unit where these serious emergencies occur.
This comprehensive simulation program is aligned to ACOG guidelines and addresses The Joint Commission training requirements, including topics such as Breech Vaginal Delivery, Hypertension Emergencies, Maternal Collapse, Postpartum Hemorrhage, Shoulder Dystocia, and Umbilical Cord Prolapse.
Mastering risk mitigation starts with identifying areas of risk
Identifying the areas of risk in your organization is easier than you think. With jane AI, you can gain actionable insights into clinician competencies, pinpoint risk areas, and proactively address those vulnerabilities with personalized development plans.
jane is the leading feature in the HealthStream Competency Suite+, the most comprehensive solution offered in healthcare to power competency development, system-wide.
The HealthStream Competency Suite+ offers the ability to identify knowledge and clinical judgment strengths and opportunities, target development, validate skills, measure competency-based performance, and develop next-level preceptors -- all critical elements to ensure safe care and minimize the opportunity for risk.
Reduce cardiac arrest & preventable death
According to a study published in the 1Journal of Patient Safety, more than 400,000 deaths a year in American hospitals are preventable. The ART Program, exclusively available through HealthStream, equips proactive hospitals with an educational framework proven to significantly reduce preventable deaths while maximizing value-based payouts, reducing risk and litigation, and becoming an employer of choice.
Reduce risk for well and sick infants
It’s estimated that 15 million infants are born preterm every year, with more than 500,000 in the U.S. alone. These patients require specialized care with proven, evidence-based practices to ensure the best outcome.
The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program is the most widely distributed and implemented infant pre- and post-resuscitation stabilization program worldwide. This program targets the first month of life and teaches both normal and abnormal characteristics of the newborn and provides a proven framework for infant stabilization and care.

"It’s not a test- it’s learning a new skill. Some people can learn how to ride a bike after one try, others may need to hop on several times before it clicks. That’s also how these manikins work. We are learning skills and correcting old habits."
