Founded in 2004, eHealthcareIT specializes in providing eLearning and compliance solutions to the U.S. healthcare market. eHealthcareIT's solutions comprise specialized healthcare training content that is delivered via the NetDimensions Talent Suite to clients ranging from multiple hospital organizations with over 20,000 employees to single, standalone hospitals. eHealthcareIT solutions help address Corporate, HIPAA, and Joint Commission compliance requirements. The company has been a leading partner and reseller of the NetDimensions Talent Suite platform during the last six years.

The eHealthcareIT business will immediately become NetDimensions Healthcare, a dedicated division of NetDimensions Holdings that will provide talent, learning, and compliance- management solutions specifically to the U.S. and international healthcare markets. Ken Wright, founder and CEO of eHealthcareIT, will stay on with the new combined company and become President of NetDimensions Healthcare.

The healthcare industry in the U.S. is currently undergoing tremendous change. Healthcare reform is driving up demand for healthcare services and is changing the way in which healthcare institutions operate, with a renewed focus on clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and organizational efficiency.


These same dynamics can be found in the international healthcare market; for example, recent events in the UK have prompted the government to commit to improved training for nurses and healthcare assistants and to appoint a new Chief Inspector of Hospitals to ensure compliance with standards of care. In this landscape, the role of learning and talent management is becoming critical in order to enable healthcare organizations to address current skills shortages and align their workforce with regulatory changes.

Ken Wright, founder and CEO of eHealthcareIT, commented, "NetDimensions top-quadrant learning and talent-management solutions deliver technologies vastly superior to those of traditional healthcare-focused learning-solution vendors. This merger will bring forward an exciting organic and integrated solution set geared toward the learning, talent, and compliance-management needs of healthcare entities, their staff, contractors, vendors, patients, and the community they serve."

Matthew Chaloner, NetDimensions CFO, commented, "The acquisition of eHealthcareIT gives us a very strong foothold in the US healthcare market and is a great opportunity to grow this business very quickly at a global scale by leveraging our worldwide presence, established sales force, and expanding product portfolio. We have been working closely with the eHealthcareIT team for over six years, and we are confident we will be able to integrate their business within NetDimensions at a rapid pace."
