HNI Healthcare

HNI Healthcare, headquartered in Austin, Texas, operates within the healthcare technology and services sector, focusing on enhancing hospital medicine programs through a value-based care model. The company was founded in 1998 by Stephen L. Moore, who brought his experience from co-founding the hospitalist firm In-Patient Management Inc. (IPM). This background in hospitalist practice management provided a foundation for HNI's approach to aligning physician and hospital goals. HNI’s business model centers on partnering with hospitals to improve clinical, operational, and financial outcomes. They achieve this by integrating their teams of physicians and clinicians directly into the hospital's framework, supported by proprietary technology and structured training programs.

The company's core offering is VitalsMD®, a patented software suite designed for hospital medicine. This technology platform provides real-time data and analytics, enabling physicians to make more informed decisions at the point of care, which impacts patient flow, resource utilization, and documentation accuracy. For hospital administrators, VitalsMD® offers transparency into performance metrics, facilitating better management and strategic planning. Revenue is generated through partnerships with hospitals, where HNI provides both the clinical staff and the technology platform to manage hospital medicine services. Complementing its technology is the HNICORE™ program, a proprietary training and professional development framework. This program ensures that HNI's clinicians are equipped with best practices in patient care, communication, and performance improvement, fostering a consistent culture of excellence across its partner hospitals. This dual approach of combining specialized clinical talent with a powerful data-driven toolset allows HNI to address inefficiencies in hospital care and drive measurable improvements.
