CareAcademy, the leading care enablement platform for home care and home health organizations, announced today that it has completed a strategic asset acquisition from NextStep, a cutting-edge digital healthcare training and job placement company for certified nursing assistants. CareAcademy will acquire NextStep’s video-based content and learning management technology in order to strengthen its position as the caregiver ecosystem’s preferred training solution.
Several studies have found that the United States’ healthcare system is in crisis, with massive staffing shortages exacerbated by the global pandemic. NextStep is a blended-learning and recruiting platform in Colorado, Oregon, and Washington that certifies and places nursing assistants in new jobs.
CareAcademy is expanding its offerings with this acquisition, creating incredible opportunities for new and existing healthcare workers to level up and become CNAs, a nationally recognized and transferable healthcare worker role. With this new certification training solution, healthcare facilities will be able to more easily recruit and retain top talent, while employees will be able to advance their skills and provide optimal, quality care.
The mission of CareAcademy is to accelerate the world’s transition to a caregiver-centric healthcare system by empowering caregivers to provide the best possible care. Later this year, NextStep content and training solutions will be integrated into CareAcademy’s online platform and made available to customers.
