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.”

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Published

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
