HealthStream (HSTM) has announced plans to sublease portions of its Nashville office space, specifically the 9th and 10th floors of the Capitol View building, while maintaining its 8th floor presence. This decision aligns with the company's commitment to a hybrid work model, which has been in place since March 2020 for the majority of its workforce.

The company will retain its corporate headquarters in Nashville's Capitol View building, continuing to hire both locally and nationally.

HealthStream plans to use the cost savings from this arrangement for long-term growth initiatives, with no impact on its 2025 financial guidance.

The company also noted its recent recognition as #1 in G2's '2025 Best Software in Healthcare' list. Additionally, HealthStream announced it will not renew its San Diego office lease, which expires in June 2026.

HealthStream (HSTM) announced that its CredentialStream application, CredentialStream Hub, and Network have achieved HITRUST r2 Certification, the highest level of information protection and compliance assurance. CredentialStream is used by hospitals and health systems for credentialing, privileging, and enrollment.

The certification process involved a comprehensive evaluation of 921 baseline controls across 19 domains, including data protection, network security, and business continuity. This achievement is particularly significant given that healthcare faces increased risk exposure due to protected health information and regulatory requirements. According to HHS data, 720 security breaches were reported in 2024, with 520 from healthcare providers, while HITRUST-certified environments reported only 0.64% of security breaches in 2022-2023.
