Real-World Charting for Health Sciences Education
Simulation electronic charting for teaching
Give health sciences students real clinical reasoning practice — safely, step by step.
On day one, you wouldn’t teach surgery in a real operating room.
Healthcare students shouldn’t begin on enterprise hospital software either. EdEHR gives educators an academic-grade environment to coach clinical reasoning into every charting step, safely repeated until it’s second nature.
What is EdEHR?
EdEHR is a simulation platform for healthcare education that replicates real clinical and laboratory workflows—without the complexity of enterprise hospital systems. Built with Canadian educators, it lets faculty teach clinical judgment and digital competency in a safe, realistic environment.
Electronic Health Record (EHR)
Realistic charting, barcode medication administration, and team-based documentation that mirror real clinical practice.
Laboratory Information System (LIS)
A full simulation LIS with workflows across accessioning, hematology, urinalysis, chemistry, microbiology, and transfusion science.
Learn morePrograms Across Allied Health
Serve Nursing (BSN, LPN, PN), Medical Laboratory Technologist (MLS), Medical Laboratory Assistant (MLA), Pharmacy Technician (PharmTech), Health Unit Clerk (HUC), Rehabilitation, Respiratory Therapy (RT), and additional allied health cohorts with one connected platform.
Trusted by Canadian Colleges and Universities
Trusted by educators across Canada to deliver realistic clinical documentation for nursing, medical laboratory, and allied health programs.
“This tool will transform the way we teach and learn.”
Benefits
Why Choose EdEHR for Your Institution?
Trusted by leading institutions in simulated, interdisciplinary learning, EdEHR delivers more than technology — a collaborative platform built by educators and proven in real-world classrooms.
— Nagle, Kleib & Furlong, 2020Only about 35% use any training version of an electronic record.4
— Canada Health Infoway, 2020
“EdEHR lets the pedagogy drive the tool, rather than the other way around.”
Bridge the Clinical Placement Gap
Students often arrive in clinical settings without hands-on experience collecting patient information, documenting care plans, or advocating for their patient in the system. With clinical placements increasingly scarce, mentoring your students with EdEHR fills that gap.
Your content for your curriculum
Create the exact scenarios your program needs with expert guidance and documentation modules. Implementation can be fast. For example, one school built 50+ case studies in under two months.
Develops Clinical Judgment, Not Just Charting Skills
EdEHR exercises the full reasoning cycle: students notice cues in the chart, interpret them into an assessment, document their response, and evaluate the outcome — the same clinical judgment loop today's licensure exams measure.

How To
From Paper Charts to 250 Students in One Term
In fall 2025, the laboratory technicians of Université Laurentienne's nursing program showed what EdEHR looks like in capable hands. While relocating their simulation labs and teaching full-time, they converted paper charting and lesson plans into EdEHR cases and refined the platform's French translations. In under two months they built 50+ case studies—and by late September, 250+ students were practicing live medication administration.
“EdEHR was the ideal choice.”
The same can work across all health care programs.
Simple, institutional pricing
One predictable subscription, sized to your program.
How it works
- One institutional subscription. Students simply sign in; there’s nothing for them to buy.
- Billed on monthly active students — those who actually use the application in that month, not everyone enrolled.
- Per-student cost decreases as your program grows.
- For most programs, it costs less per student each year than a single course textbook.
Faculty always free · Canada-based hosting · Save with annual prepayment.
Why it's easier for your program
- One contract and one invoice for the institution.
- Nothing for students to buy or renew each term, and no risk of a student being locked out mid-course.
- We hold as little student data as possible and never collect financial information.
- Some programs fund this through existing course or lab fees.
- Most programs choose a multi-year agreement with annual increases typically capped at 5%.
Your program, your quote
Every healthcare education program is different, so we'd rather give you a real number than make you decode a generic price grid. Tell us your program and typical active enrolment, and we'll send a clear no-obligation written quote, or we can talk it through in person.
