What Rievent Technologies does

Rievent Technologies is a Virginia Beach-based cloud SaaS company that builds and operates a learning management system purpose-built for continuing medical education (CME) and continuing education (CE) administration. Founded in 2000 on a Java enterprise platform, the company pioneered SaaS delivery for CME management and has maintained a 99% client retention rate over roughly two decades, serving medical associations, medical and academic publishers, hospitals and health systems, professional liability insurers, mental health education providers, and jointly accredited providers. The platform supports the full CME/CE lifecycle across activity types including live events, enduring activities, journal-based CME, webinars, regularly scheduled series, and manuscript review, with automated accreditation reporting to ACCME (PARS), ANCC (NARS), ACPE (CPE Monitor), and MOC systems.

The product portfolio centers on the Rievent Platform (core LMS) and Rievent Connect (a publisher-facing integration module that embeds CE activities directly within host platforms such as Silverchair and HighWire). Functional capabilities include activity and certification management, e-commerce registration and payment processing (Authorize.net and PayPal), tests and surveys, learner self-service for transcripts and certificates, and a Learning Portal. Rievent operates a sales-led go-to-market motion with structured demos and sandbox trial accounts, targeting CME and CE administrators at healthcare organizations, medical associations, publishers, and academic institutions. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with annual subscription billing.

Rievent was acquired by HealthStream (NASDAQ: HSTM) in 2020 and now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary, maintaining its own product line and customer base under the HealthStream healthcare workforce development portfolio. The company lists 11-50 employees and operates from Virginia Beach, VA, with its parent headquarters at 500 11th Avenue North, Nashville, TN. The founder, Randy Rienerth, served as Founder and CEO.
