Live: New LMS Governance Resources

With excitement, we share the launch of our new, refreshed Governance Resource Community Page—a centralized location designed to simplify access to key guidelines, frameworks, and best practices related to governance! 

Each resource is available in a downloadable format to allow you ease in customizing the resources to meet your needs in alignment with your governance processes.

Coming Soon: hStream for Portal 

Soon, you’ll see a refreshed, modern look—while keeping the same easy experience for submitting and tracking your support cases.

What’s new?
The Support Portal is moving to hStream ID for login, so you’ll no longer need separate credentials to access support. One login, fewer passwords to remember. Beta testing is still underway and further details about the roll-out will be communicated soon.

INSIGHTS+

Expected This Month: New Feature

If you contract for Insights+, this month we will be releasing a new feature in Learning Analytics: 
  • Class Analytics: A new Class page provides clear and actionable metrics for managing your classes, including Classes by Grading Status, Classes by Instructor, Classes by Course, Class Availability, Class Details, and more.
 
HEALTHSTREAM VIDEO

Expected June 30: Updates & Enhancements to Video Players

HealthStream is enhancing HealthStream Video Basic, Video Plus, and Video Complete video players with an updated version. Benefits of these updates include: 
  • Faster load and start times: Videos will begin playing more quickly and with greater stability, ensuring a smoother learning experience with fewer delays. 
  • Better playback across browsers and devices: The updated player is fully optimized for HTML5 and modern environments, offering more consistent performance whether learners are on a desktop, tablet, or mobile device. 
  • Modern, customizable design: The refreshed interface includes a cleaner layout and flexible UI options to deliver a more intuitive, learner‑friendly experience. 
Please note that there is no action involved on your part for these changes to take effect. 
 
HLC: HEALTHSTREAM LEARNING CENTER

Live: HLC License and Certification Expiration Date Changes 

Previously, HealthStream restricted the window for administrators and students to edit verified licenses and certifications in the HealthStream Learning Center (HLC). Licenses and certifications could only be edited within 30 days of the expiration date or if the expiration date has passed. 

After careful consideration and valuable customer feedback, we have decided to expand the window to 90 days. Please note, this also affects HLC imports. 

Going forward Verified HLC Licenses and Certifications can only be edited if: 
  • The expiration date is within 90 days 
  • The expiration date is in the past 
 

Live: Redesigned Insights Assignment Progress Report and 12-Month Transition Period Beginning

We hope you are enjoying the redesigned Assignment Progress report that is now live in Insights!  

With the release of the redesign, a 12-month transition period is starting on May 1, 2026 for assignment progress-related reports. 

What is the 12-month transition period? 
Once an Insights report is released, organizations have 12 months to transition from using the HealthStream Learning Center report(s) to the Insights report. After this 12-month period, the corresponding HLC report(s) will no longer be accessible to run from the HLC Reports page and existing scheduled reports will no longer run. 

The following reports HealthStream Learning Center reports will be disabled on April 30, 2027: 
  • Assignment Completion - Schedulable 
  • Assignment Completion - Drill-Through 
  • Delinquent/Past Due - Drill-Through 
  • Delinquent/Past Due - Schedulable 
  • Student Assignment Completion 
  • Enterprise Assignment Completion 
We encourage organizations to transition to the Insights report prior to the 12-month deprecation date to ensure users are comfortable with the new reporting. 

Communication and reminders will be provided on a recurring basis, including on the HealthStream Learning Center Reports page, to keep you aware of the transition deadline.
 

Live: Insights Issue Resolved — Send Reports to Non-Insights Users 

An issue that prevented Insights reports from opening for non‑Insights users has been resolved. You can now include non‑Insights users as recipients of HLC‑based scheduled reports, as long as they are active HLC Administrators or Students. 
 

Effective May 21: Supervisor Removal for Student Account Inactivation 

When a student account is inactivated with the reason Terminated, any associated supervisor will be automatically removed. This applies regardless of whether the inactivation occurs through system imports or directly via the user interface. 

Supervisors will not be removed when a student account is marked inactive for the following reasons: 
  • On Leave 
  • Pre‑hire 
This ensures supervisor relationships are preserved for temporary or pre‑employment statuses while maintaining accuracy for permanently terminated students. 
 

Expected May: Course Metadata Available in Insights Custom Reports

Starting this month, you will be able to create Custom Reports that include Course Metadata. This dataset includes fields like: Course Name, Course Version, Course Description, Course Identifier, Course Owner, Publishing Status, Course Created By, Course Updated By, and many more.
