LMS for healthcare

The LMS that runs CPR recerts, OSHA training, and EMR onboarding in one workspace

HealthStream and Relias sell to hospital systems on multi-year contracts. Independent clinics, urgent-care groups, and home-health agencies live in the gap, running annual competencies out of spreadsheets and a Zoom link. Classentra is the live + blended LMS for the clinical org that wants recertifications tracked, certificates verifiable, and HIPAA mode available without a six-month implementation partner.

What clinical L&D (learning & development) teams deal with

Built for hospital systems; sold to nobody else

HealthStream, Relias, and Cornerstone OnDemand priced for the 5,000-employee hospital system. The contract assumes a CLO, a compliance officer, and a quarterly procurement cycle. A 40-clinician urgent-care group or a 120-aide home-health agency can't buy through that door. The sales call dies on the second question.

The fallback is a Drive folder, a SharePoint site, and a recurring Calendly link. Annual CPR recerts get tracked on a spreadsheet. OSHA bloodborne-pathogen training is a 30-minute Zoom plus a PDF sign-off. The compliance officer finds out something lapsed when a surveyor asks.

Classentra is the LMS half of the clinical training stack, done well, sold publicly, setup in days. Run live CPR sessions with attendance auto-captured, issue verifiable certificates per recertification, and keep your annual OSHA / HIPAA / bloodborne-pathogen training in one workspace that any surveyor can read.

What you get

Six capabilities clinical orgs actually need

Every feature below ships today. HIPAA mode (BAA + audit logs + access controls) is an organization-plan conversation. Talk to sales for the regulated configuration; SCORM-1.2 ingest and SCIM provisioning are on the roadmap.

Live competency check-offs

Run skills check-offs (CPR, BLS, ACLS, IV insertion) live on your own Zoom, Meet, or Teams. Classentra generates the meeting link per session and attendance auto-captures. Native in-app sessions with auto-saved recording, so a missed cohort can self-serve, are coming soon.

Recertification tracking

Per-staff certification expiry dates with auto-reminders 60/30/7 days out. Reports export to PDF or CSV for the compliance binder. Mastery view per competency makes a surveyor visit a 10-minute conversation.

Certificates w/ public verification

Issue branded certificates per recert with a public verification URL per staff member. Auditors, surveyors, and onboarding HR at the next employer verify in one click. No PDF authenticity questions.

OSHA + bloodborne + EMR library

Build a reusable annual-training library: OSHA bloodborne pathogens, HIPAA refresher, fire safety, EMR module onboarding (Epic, Cerner, Athena). Assign by role; drip on hire date; resurrect on anniversary.

Role-based assignments

Assign training to roles (RN, LPN, CNA, MA, front-desk, billing) instead of one-by-one. New hires inherit the role checklist automatically. Role changes re-fire only the deltas, not the whole onboarding.

HIPAA mode + BAA on organization plans

Organization plans can sign a HIPAA-compliant BAA, enable audit logs on PHI-adjacent surfaces, and gate AI features on PHI inputs. Most clinical training (recerts, OSHA, soft-skill) doesn't touch PHI and runs fine without HIPAA mode. Talk to sales for the right configuration.

FAQ

Common questions from clinical L&D

Are you HIPAA compliant? Do you sign a BAA?
HIPAA mode is available on organization plans (from $2,399/yr, talk to us). We sign a HIPAA-compliant BAA, enable audit logs on PHI-adjacent surfaces, and gate AI features on PHI inputs. Most clinical training (annual recerts, OSHA, soft-skill, EMR module onboarding) does not touch PHI and runs fine without it. Talk to sales before any course that ingests PHI so we can stand up the right configuration.
Can you track CPR / BLS / ACLS recertifications with expiry dates?
Yes. Per-staff certification records with expiry dates, auto-reminders 60/30/7 days out, role-based assignment, and PDF/CSV export for the compliance binder. Surveyor-readable. Most home-health and urgent-care groups onboard their full annual-training calendar in a week.
Do you support OSHA and bloodborne-pathogen annual training?
Build the course once in the library, assign by role, drip on hire date, and resurrect on the anniversary. Certificates with public verification URLs satisfy surveyor + state-board verification. The annual-training catalog is reusable across locations.
How is this different from HealthStream or Relias?
HealthStream and Relias are designed for hospital systems. Public pricing is gated behind a sales call, setup runs a quarter, and the contract assumes a CLO. Classentra is designed for the independent clinic, urgent-care group, or home-health agency: public pricing, setup in days, live + blended, and a real LMS without a six-month rollout. If you are buying for thousands of staff across a hospital system, HealthStream may still be the right call.
Can we ingest SCORM courses we already own?
SCORM (the file standard corporate compliance training uses) ingest is on our roadmap. SCORM 1.2 export ships today on organization plans. Most clinical orgs we onboard prefer to rebuild a few high-impact courses (CPR + OSHA + HIPAA refresher) inside Classentra so the live-session + auto-attendance + certificate flow works end-to-end. Talk to sales if a legacy compliance library you can't rebuild is a blocker.
Can EMR onboarding (Epic, Cerner, Athena) run on Classentra?
Yes for the training half: module walkthroughs, screen-recording reviews, role-based assignment, knowledge checks, and a certificate per completed module. The EMR vendor still owns the actual EMR access provisioning. Classentra handles the training, tracking, and verification.
