Hardenbergh Group, Sentact, and Preverity Combine to Create Leader in Patient Safety, Experience, Risk, and Healthcare Compliance Solutions

Combined Company to Unify Under the Sentact Brand

NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hardenbergh Group, a leading provider of credentialing, physician peer review and consulting services, announced today its merger with Sentact and Preverity, and the planned unification of the three high-performing organizations into a single, integrated brand under the Sentact name. This strategic combination establishes a category leader in patient safety and experience, clinical risk mitigation, and healthcare compliance, serving the nation's top health systems with a next-generation platform that combines technology, data, and healthcare expertise.

"Hospitals and health systems need more than point solutions – they need unified product and service platforms that deliver tangible benefits and proactive analysis and tools that bring real-time insight," said Daniel Hart, CEO of the newly combined organization. "By bringing together these three companies, we've created a single, trusted partner that empowers hospital leaders to improve outcomes, reduce risk, and lead with clarity."

The integrated Sentact platform delivers:

• Sentact's market-leading digital rounding and compliance platform, used by hospitals nationwide to standardize operational best practices to support patient safety, elevate patient experience, and ensure regulatory readiness.
  
  
• The Hardenbergh Group's nationally recognized workforce solutions to support physician credentialing and payer enrollment, as well as its external physician peer review service - foundational elements in the pursuit of safety, quality, productivity, and organizational compliance.
  
  
• Preverity's proprietary risk intelligence and predictive analytics solution, which equips leaders with forward-looking insights into clinical risk and provider performance to improve safety and supports physician peer review (OPPE/FPPE).

Together, these capabilities deliver a seamless, data-driven experience to drive measurable results for healthcare organizations and executives leading finance, nursing, safety, experience, quality, and medical staff services functions.

"Our vision has always been to turn data into intelligence," said Larry Van Horn, co-founder of Preverity. "Combining with Sentact and Hardenbergh allows us to scale that vision – enabling earlier interventions, fewer preventable events to improve safety, and lower malpractice costs and reserve requirements."

Leadership teams from all three legacy companies will remain in place, ensuring continuity, domain expertise, and a united focus on innovation and customer success.

Sentact will continue making significant investments in technology, including a harmonized enterprise data infrastructure that will integrate workflows and analytics capabilities across the platform. This foundation will enable real-time decision support and accelerate the shift from lagging to leading indicators of clinical, operational, and compliance performance.

"We are designing this platform for the future of healthcare leadership," said Chris Dube, President of Sentact. "Hospital executives don't just want reports – they want foresight. They want the ability to act before issues arise. That's what Sentact is building."

The combined organization is supported by strategic investment from BV Investment Partners, a growth-oriented private equity firm with deep experience in enterprise data and technology-enabled services across healthcare and other industry verticals.

"What makes this opportunity truly special is the chemistry among these teams and the clarity of their shared vision," said Sean Wilder, Managing Director at BV Investment Partners. "We believe this is a rare chance to build a truly unique company that delivers transformational value – financial, clinical, and reputational – for healthcare organizations nationwide."
