Basis of Presentation	1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. The balance sheet at December 31, 2016 is consistent with the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 (included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2017).

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS *Accounting Standards Recently Adopted* The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, effective January 1, 2017. As a result of the adoption, the Company recorded an adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $2.2 million to recognize deferred tax assets associated with previous excess tax benefits on stock based compensation that had not been previously recognized because the related tax deduction had not reduced income taxes payable. The Company elected to continue to estimate expected forfeitures rather than account for them as they occur, and to prospectively reflect the presentation of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows as an operating activity. In addition, effective January 1, 2017, excess tax benefits or deficiencies from equity based awards is reflected in the statement of income as a component of the provision for income taxes. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. With the elimination of Step 2, entities will measure goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units fair value, only to the extent of the carrying value of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04 effective January 1, 2017 and is required to apply the new guidance on a prospective basis. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company anticipates the new guidance will make the goodwill impairment evaluation process more efficient and cost effective. *Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted* In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. The updated guidance states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also provides for additional disclosures with respect to revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the Company currently anticipates adopting the standard using the modified retrospective approach effective January 1, 2018. The Company is in the process of implementing the standard, and has identified several key provisions that may result in changes to current accounting policies, systems and processes, and internal controls, including but not limited to the following: 1) Determining the relative selling price for software-as-a-service agreements, software licenses, software maintenance, and professional services in order to assign value to the separate performance obligations within a contract. Certain existing right to use arrangements are recognized over time because VSOE cannot be established, but may result in earlier revenue recognition under the new standard; 2) Capitalizing costs to acquire contracts, such as sales commissions, is not a current accounting policy; therefore we expect historical sales commissions, which have been expensed as incurred, will need to be evaluated for capitalization; 3) Ensuring the Company’s financial systems can record, calculate, summarize, and report the necessary information required by the standard, which will require additional investments in technology and resources. The Company is not currently able to quantify the financial impact of the Company’s adoption of this accounting standard on its future consolidated financial statements, but does anticipate adjustments to retained earnings upon adoption. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee is not expected to significantly change under such guidance; however, the Company is currently reviewing this standard to determine the method of adoption and to assess the impact on its future consolidated financial statements. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Sub Topic 825-10), which addresses certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The guidance will, among other things, require equity method investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted for only limited aspects of such guidance. The Company is currently reviewing this standard to determine the method of adoption and to assess the impact on its future consolidated financial statements.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	3. INCOME TAXES Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured at tax rates that will be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of approximately $678,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was 34.5% and 40.1%, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded excess tax benefits of approximately $57,000 as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate primarily reflects the statutory corporate income tax rate, the net effect of state taxes, and the effect of various permanent tax differences.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders for the period by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of potentially dilutive common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares are composed of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and RSUs subject to vesting. The dilutive effect of common equivalent shares is included in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The total number of common equivalent shares excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share, due to their anti-dilutive effect or contingent performance conditions, was approximately 143,000 and 85,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands, except per share data):

7. BUSINESS COMBINATION

Morrisey Associates, Inc.

On August 8, 2016, Echo, Inc. (“Echo”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired all of the outstanding stock of Morrisey Associates, Inc. (“MAI”), a Chicago, Illinois based company that provides credentialing and privileging software to healthcare organizations. The acquisition of MAI allows the Company to expand its credentialing and privileging product offerings and solutions to healthcare organizations. The consideration paid for MAI consisted of approximately $48.0 million in cash, which the Company funded with cash on hand, and was not subject to any post-closing working capital or similar adjustment. The Company incurred approximately $953,000 in transaction costs, all of which were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2016. The transaction costs were recorded in other general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The results of operations for MAI have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, and are also included in the HealthStream Provider Solutions segment.

A summary of the purchase price is as follows (in thousands):


Cash paid at closing	$	44,120
Cash held in escrow		3,880

Total consideration paid	$	48,000

The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition (in thousands):


Accounts receivable, net	$	3,402
Prepaid royalties and other prepaid assets		187
Property and equipment		75
Deferred tax assets		1,507
Goodwill		20,467
Intangible assets		27,400
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(1,031	)
Deferred revenue		(4,007	)

Net assets acquired	$	48,000

The excess purchase price over the fair values of net tangible and intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. The fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets, deferred revenue, and other liabilities assumed were based on management’s estimates and assumptions. The goodwill balance was primarily attributed to the assembled workforce, additional market opportunities from offering MAI’s products, and expected synergies from integrating MAI with other products or other combined functional areas within the Company. The goodwill balance will be deductible for U.S. income tax purposes. The net tangible assets include deferred revenue, which was adjusted down from a book value at the acquisition date of $8.8 million to an estimated fair value of $4.0 million. The $4.8 million write-down of deferred revenue will result in lower revenues than would have otherwise been recognized for such services.

The following table sets forth the components of identifiable intangible assets and their estimated useful lives as of the acquisition date (in thousands):


	Fair value		Useful life
Customer relationships	$	21,400		13 years
Developed technology		5,400		5 years
Trade name		600		6 years

Total intangible assets subject to amortization	$	27,400

The following unaudited pro forma financial information summarizes the combined results of operations of the Company and MAI as though the companies were combined as of January 1, 2015 (in thousands, except per share data):

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company maintains a Loan Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”) in the aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million, which matures on November 24, 2017. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company may borrow up to $50.0 million, which includes a $5.0 million swing line subfacility and a $5.0 million letter of credit subfacility, as well as an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the Revolving Credit Facility by a total of up to $25.0 million, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries. At the Company’s election, the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at either (1) a rate per annum equal to the highest of SunTrust’s prime rate or 0.5% in excess of the Federal Funds Rate or 1.0% in excess of one-month LIBOR (the “Base Rate”), plus an applicable margin, or (2) the one, two, three, or six-month per annum LIBOR for deposits in the applicable currency (the “Eurocurrency Rate”), as selected by the Company, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Eurocurrency Rate loans depends on the Company’s funded debt leverage ratio and varies from 1.50% to 2.00%. The applicable margin for Base Rate loans depends on the Company’s funded debt leverage ratio and varies from 0.50% to 1.50%. Commitment fees and letter of credit fees are also payable under the Revolving Credit Facility. Principal is payable in full at maturity on November 24, 2017, and there are no scheduled principal payments prior to maturity. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee ranging between 20 and 30 basis points per annum of the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, depending on the Company’s funded debt leverage ratio.

The purpose of the Revolving Credit Facility is for general working capital needs, permitted acquisitions (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and for stock repurchase and/or redemption transactions that the Company may authorize.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains certain covenants that, among other things, restrict additional indebtedness, liens and encumbrances, changes to the character of the Company’s business, acquisitions, asset dispositions, mergers and consolidations, sale or discount of receivables, creation or acquisitions of additional subsidiaries, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements.

In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to meet certain financial tests, including, without limitation:

•

a funded debt leverage ratio (consolidated debt/consolidated EBITDA) of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0; and

•

an interest coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA/consolidated interest expense) of not less than 3.0 to 1.0.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company was in material compliance with all covenants. There were no balances outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility as of or during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Policies)	3 Months Ended
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Policies)	Mar. 31, 2017
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Accounting Standards Recently Adopted	*Accounting Standards Recently Adopted* The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, effective January 1, 2017. As a result of the adoption, the Company recorded an adjustment to retained earnings of approximately $2.2 million to recognize deferred tax assets associated with previous excess tax benefits on stock based compensation that had not been previously recognized because the related tax deduction had not reduced income taxes payable. The Company elected to continue to estimate expected forfeitures rather than account for them as they occur, and to prospectively reflect the presentation of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows as an operating activity. In addition, effective January 1, 2017, excess tax benefits or deficiencies from equity based awards is reflected in the statement of income as a component of the provision for income taxes. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. With the elimination of Step 2, entities will measure goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units fair value, only to the extent of the carrying value of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04 effective January 1, 2017 and is required to apply the new guidance on a prospective basis. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company anticipates the new guidance will make the goodwill impairment evaluation process more efficient and cost effective.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted	*Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted* In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. The updated guidance states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also provides for additional disclosures with respect to revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the Company currently anticipates adopting the standard using the modified retrospective approach effective January 1, 2018. The Company is in the process of implementing the standard, and has identified several key provisions that may result in changes to current accounting policies, systems and processes, and internal controls, including but not limited to the following: 1) Determining the relative selling price for software-as-a-service agreements, software licenses, software maintenance, and professional services in order to assign value to the separate performance obligations within a contract. Certain existing right to use arrangements are recognized over time because VSOE cannot be established, but may result in earlier revenue recognition under the new standard; 2) Capitalizing costs to acquire contracts, such as sales commissions, is not a current accounting policy; therefore we expect historical sales commissions, which have been expensed as incurred, will need to be evaluated for capitalization; 3) Ensuring the Company’s financial systems can record, calculate, summarize, and report the necessary information required by the standard, which will require additional investments in technology and resources. The Company is not currently able to quantify the financial impact of the Company’s adoption of this accounting standard on its future consolidated financial statements, but does anticipate adjustments to retained earnings upon adoption. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee is not expected to significantly change under such guidance; however, the Company is currently reviewing this standard to determine the method of adoption and to assess the impact on its future consolidated financial statements. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Sub Topic 825-10), which addresses certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The guidance will, among other things, require equity method investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted for only limited aspects of such guidance. The Company is currently reviewing this standard to determine the method of adoption and to assess the impact on its future consolidated financial statements.
