<P align="left" style="font-size: 14pt"><FONT style="font-size: 10pt"><B>NASHVILLE, Tennessee (November&nbsp;4, 2005) &#150; </B>HealthStream (NASDAQ: HSTM), a leading provider of
learning solutions for the healthcare industry, announced today that Michael D. Shmerling has
joined its Board of Directors. As Senior Advisor and former Executive Vice President at Marsh
Kroll, Mr.&nbsp;Shmerling will be a valuable addition to the Board in overseeing HealthStream&#146;s
corporate and strategic initiatives.
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&#147;Michael is a veteran entrepreneur with a strong track record of successfully growing companies,&#148;
commented Robert A. Frist, Jr., Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors at
HealthStream. &#147;We are confident that his experience and leadership will bring strong assets to
HealthStream&#146;s Board.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Mr.&nbsp;Shmerling, who currently serves as Senior Advisor at Marsh Kroll, began his career as a
Certified Public Accountant at the predecessor to Ernst &#038; Young. He subsequently founded three
companies where he served in a variety of executive leadership roles. Two of these companies were
sold to Corrections Corporation of America (NYSE: CCA) in 1994 and 1995.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">In 1995, Mr.&nbsp;Shmerling founded Background America, Inc., which was acquired by The Kroll &#150;O&#146;Gara
Company in 1999. Rising through a number of key leadership roles at Kroll, he was elected Executive
Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, and he joined the company&#146;s Board of Directors in 2001. In
August of 2005, approximately one year following the acquisition of Kroll by Marsh, Inc., Mr.
Shmerling chose to leave his full time position and become a Senior Advisor to Kroll&#151;a role in
which he continues to serve today.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Over the last 25&nbsp;years, Mr.&nbsp;Shmerling has actively supported a wide range of public service
organizations. He currently serves as a director on a number of boards, including Fisk University,
the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, and the National Alliance for Public Education.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Mr.&nbsp;Shmerling is the eighth &#147;independent&#148; director under the current NASDAQ National Market Listing
Standards, and brings the total number of directors on HealthStream&#146;s Board to nine.
