TAKING A SHOT
HealthStream Nashville, Tenn.
Setting Up the Hybrid Space
Even before COVID-19, HealthStream realized that working
remotely was already an important part of its culture when it
launched its headquarters redesign in 2019.
Mollie Condra, vice president of Communications and Investor
Relations, said the redesign " was an opportunity to design the
offices we really wanted from scratch. "
Even prior to the lockdowns, around 300 people might have
been present in the Nashville headquarters, with 600 or more in
other locations or working from home.
The new three-story HQ is equipped with 71 conference rooms,
51 of which include video conferencing. There are also 43 small
huddle rooms, each with seating for two to six people, five larger
meeting rooms with seating for 12 to 24 people, 20 rooms intended
for local meetings, and an all-hands space (including two
employee lounges) with seating for at least 300, plus the ability to
bring in another 500 to 600 via video conferencing.
One of HealthStream's biggest questions was powering
communications with off-site staff. Employees were heavy users of
Office 365, and now the system can include Microsoft Teams.

Installation of the Technology
" It was obvious to me that HealthStream would benefit
from a switch to Microsoft Teams, so in our initial
meeting, I showed them Mercury, part of the Crestron
Flex product line, " says Will Gilbert, a partner at Think
Simple. " Mercury works better with Teams than any
other AV device.
" With Mercury, " he further expanded, " you just walk
into a meeting room, plug in your laptop and start
Teams. That's it. Now instead of the camera and microphone
built into your laptop, you're using the camera
and microphone we installed in the room. The room's
flat-panel display mirrors your laptop screen. "
Gilbert believed Mercury would be a natural fit for
the huddle rooms. By pairing Mercury with Teams,
HealthStream would be also able to save hundreds of
thousands of dollars on licensing fees. Though Think
Simple built a custom Crestron interface, HealthStream
preferred Mercury and ended up using it in all but two
rooms: The Forum and the Strategy Room.
