Profile

National Research CorporationNRCHealth Care

Sells subscription tools that collect and interpret feedback from patients, consumers, employees, clinicians, markets, and boards. The business is concentrated in U.S. healthcare organizations and runs as one reportable segment.

Provides healthcare experience-management software and services for organizations that need to understand patients, consumers, employees, clinicians, markets, and governance bodies. Core offerings are Patient Experience, Consumer Experience, Employee Experience, Market Experience, The Governance Institute, and Huey AI.

Generates most revenue from renewable subscription-based customer service agreements, with add-on solutions and new customers supplementing the base. Operations are centered on U.S. healthcare customers, and long-lived assets are located in the United States.

Executes through a single reportable segment while combining internal product development with selected acquisitions such as Nobl. The business depends on continued subscription renewals, healthcare organizations' feedback programs, and the recent transition from founder Michael D. Hays to CEO Trent S. Green.
