HealthStream Announces Contracts with Tenet Healthcare Corporation
May 10, 2004
The HealthStream Learning Center will support and manage online and offline learning events, providing a scalable, single system for all education and training activities for Tenet’s hospitals.
Once the contract is fully implemented as expected in July 2004, HealthStream estimates annualized revenues under the agreements will range between $1.25 - $1.50 million, based on Tenet's employee census and the additional services that they may select. Revenue recognition commences when a contract is fully implemented. Approximately two-thirds of the revenues are related to HLC services, with the remainder derived from courseware maintenance services.
“We are pleased to be selected by Tenet Healthcare to support their ongoing employee education initiatives,” said Robert A. Frist, Jr., chief executive officer, HealthStream.
