My overall experience with Healthstream has been a positive one and I would recommend to anyone who would inquire. With this program, we are able to stay current with policy updates and competencies.
Pros
Healthstream has been extremely user-friendly and self explanatory. When HR uploads new modules due for completion, an email goes out notifying the staff, allowing everyone the opportunity to stay current.
Cons
The functionality of Healthstream software is impeccable. Any glitches that we have encountered have typically been due to downtimes and/or upgrades at our facility.

The HealthStream Learning Center is Fundamental to our Organization

All online education for staff, particularly clinical staff continuing education by specialties, online CPR, regulatory training, classroom management, and more is handled via our HLC LMS. It is an easy way to deliver, track and report on learning activities in a central system. The system is always evolving to help us grow in online learning needs. Our staff love the system, especially the clinical staff who use it almost daily.
Pros
That is is always improving, and is a central system that can be utilized in a variety of settings. I also love being able to utilize the content libraries and also the partnerships with many organizations to provide or purchase additional content with ease.
Cons
HealthStream is always improving the product. The current test builder is a bit antiquated on the admin side but should soon be enhanced. The company is always communicating with users and through a variety of channels including a robust user community where idea sharing and suggestions occur, review our feedback and make changes very quickly. As an administrator, I am kept well informed on the many changes which can be challenging for time but in a good way!

As with any system there is a learning curve but HealthStream is overall an intuitive, robust LMS with features for small and very large groups. They are very good with customer service and offer support groups which enhances system utilization. I view them as the Cadillac of LMS for healthcare organizations.
Pros
HealthStream has a robust course library and It is easy to assign courses and run/automate reports to track completions/compliance. I like that I can delay the start of an assignment and the LMS will auto-generate notifications which I can customize . It is easy to create groups and generate reports for anything from course completions to analytics. I can create courses with various learning activities and upload large content files. There are some tricks and tips to learn but support is there when you need it including helpful community support groups (live pre-pandemic, now virtual). There is also a "Help" button for administrators and learners with supportive content including video tutorials.
Cons
I have used the system for over five years and in the "early days" HealthStream support was easier to contact with a faster turn-around (I was spoiled compared with other LMS systems). With time they are less accessible and the turn around is slower but if your need is urgent they will work to respond fast.

ReliasReasons for Switching to HealthStream Learning Center
We use both. We considered discontinuing Relias but did not due to Relias having important, desirable content for hospice and more CEs for hospice, healthcare professionals.- Industry: Hospital & Health Care

Adm - Excellent! Just had a TJC survey and the Reviewer was impressed by how we had so much of needed evidence in HealthStream- all in one place and not lost or misplaced as students transfer or managers change. Student - excellent! Especially appreciate having procedural guidelines available in Catalog and to receive CE credit on completion. The CE Path library is wonderful especially with nursing certification preparation.
Pros
Adm. Can start with a basic package then add to this as needed to meet additional needs. Student - gives me control over timing of training.
Cons
Adm - Billing is difficult. As you add additional products, separate Billing with differing timelines can get confusing; multiple invoices for various products. Student - can be slow to deliver or move to the next page
