Advanced Practice Strategies, Inc. Completes $12M Series C Financing
Advanced Practice Strategies, Inc. (APS), provider of an e-learning and talent management platform for clinicians, announced today the completion of a $12M Preferred Series C capital raise led by River Cities Capital Funds, a growth equity firm investing in healthcare and IT companies. Incumbent investor Ascension Ventures also participated.
“APS helps health systems deliver superior outcomes by personalizing the education that each caregiver receives,” says Rik Vandevenne, Director at River Cities Capital Funds, who joins the APS Board of Directors. “The stellar management team, unique provider-specific data and blue chip customer list combined with rapid growth attracted us to the company. We’re honored to partner with APS.”
The company’s e-learning platform, GNOSIS, engages all clinicians through a first-of-its-kind assessment measuring clinical knowledge and judgment and then deploys an individualized “Learning Path.” The Learning Path then delivers prioritized, five-minute content segments, targeting each clinician’s specific needs. This customized approach maximizes the clinician’s time, effort and value to improve patient outcomes, reduce system risk and also provide CE credits. With over 30,000 assessments completed, GNOSIS provides extensive and actionable data at the individual clinician, department, hospital and system levels. This unique data gives insight into high-risk areas and enables targeted remediation pathways.
“Serving more than 100 major health systems in the US, the APS database of physician and nurse assessments provides unique benchmarking metrics, prospective views of clinical risk and identifies specific opportunities for practice improvement,” says Russell Richmond, MD, CEO of APS. “This financing further validates the opportunity we have ahead of us to change the way hospitals hire, assess and educate physicians and nurses. We’re excited that River Cities and Ascension Ventures share our vision and are thrilled to partner with such experienced healthcare investors.”
Proceeds from the financing will be used to enhance sales and marketing efforts as well as to expand the platform into other critical specialties.
