The Best LMS for Healthcare
To larger organisations, we would strongly advise shortlisting some of the following vendors when looking for the best LMS for healthcare providers.
Following on from our article on

Enable from Virtual College
Virtual College have been in the LMS business for over 20 years and have developed unrivalled expertise and as such has one of the most evolved LMS solutions we know. Their continued investment into the platform is impressive and it meets our metrics. In addition Virtual College have a dedicated team devoted to healthcare and have rolled out several exciting e-learning content and LMS projects. This is a full feature LMS and auditing and reporting is very strong, competence management functionality is also very good and
DLC Solutions
DLC Solutions produces the EthosCE LMS. This is a US based company, producing a very content orientated LMS with authoring capability built in and some learning content management functionality. The Mobile Smartphone Application for Live Meeting Attendance Tracking is an interesting feature and CCGs holding CPD events would find this feature of considerable benefit.
The
Day One
Based near Leeds in West Yorkshire, Day One Technologies create elearning solutions that are bespoke to the needs and specific environment of each client. In developing LMS, they use a unique modular approach that gives clients a system that is easy to use with all the features they need, without the bloat of anything superfluous. Despite getting a stripped down, simple LMS, the platform always has additional modules available for future enhancement, making it a fully future-proof learning management system.
For over 20 years, Day One have provided leading elearning solutions to high profile clients, and they are now working on some important and innovative projects for the likes of NHS Scotland, Mind, Datix, HCA, Scottish Government, and the Royal College of Physicians.
Docebo
Less well known in the UK, but this is an LMS that merits serious consideration. Docebo is a very good LMS and it is leading in extended enterprise functionality which we see as an increasingly important requirement in healthcare. Docebo are certainly innovators in the LMS market with a continued commitment to launching new features with a very strong focus on integration and apps. The
Kallidus
The Kallidus LMS has great pedigree and track record and is well evolved and configurable for use in healthcare. Kallidus is a well – developed LMS that provides the full feature set we looked for in our review.

Kallidus offers a full learning and talent suite that is one of the most comprehensive in the market offering a full e-learning and training solution.
Lighter touch solutions for smaller organisations or more streamlined tactical learning projects in larger organisations.
For more mid-sized organisations we would add some other LMS recommendations for lighter or more tactical solutions (that also could be used by larger organisations for tactical training interventions). These deliver more training focused solutions or more innovative solutions where challenges and requirements are more nuanced, such as learner engagement, course building and content curation and knowledge management, to name but a few challenges faced by healthcare organisations.
aNewSpring
aNewSpring is the Training department’s LMS! A feature rich LMS focused on training delivery, learner engagement and the creation of training materials in a quick and efficient way. This platform offers a neat way for both curating and creating e-learning courses. The curation function is very impressive and allows disparate learning resources to catalogued and used in multiple courses.
The
scormLMS
This is a new LMS developed by Safety Media and very well established e-learning provider. This LMS is designed to meet a set of specific needs by focusing on the delivery of SCORM e-learning courses and comes with an excellent user interface and reporting function. For pure play e-learning led initiatives
Tugaru
Tugaru is another of the less well known LMS, but one we have tracked with great interest and growing excitement. Tugaru is an exceptionally robust LMS built on the Kentico CMS platform and is bringing marketing automation to e-learning which we find exciting and very innovative as it is really delivering personalised and adaptive learning. While programmed reminders and e-mails from administrators have typically been how organisations have engaged with learners who were not always keen to participate in the learning, Tugaru is about changing that and is applying the tools of marketing automation to personalised learner engagement.
In addition we would highlight up LMS solutions more focused towards knowledge management
KOKM
Kokm is a new player in the LMS market and it offers an original take on the genre. Rather than being only a classic Learning Management System, the Kokm package includes an intranet, an extranet, a resource library and an LMS. There is a lot of interesting technology and experience behind this platform.
This means that Kokm provides a holistic solution for the healthcare organisation that wants to procure, update, or replace its intranet, extranet and resource library. However, this could also pose a challenge if an organisation is happy with its current non-LMS systems.
The final vendor to note is Tribal in our review of the market,
Tribal have delivered one of the largest e-learning led deployments into the NHS (The Southwest Strategic health authority was the original customer), with a huge amount of learning resources made available as part of this project and have partnered with eXact a leading LCMS vendor that already plays a role in the NHS ESR infrastructure.
