Publisher. The Clinical Education Management (CEM) Benchmark is published and maintained by HealthTasks. All vendors, including HealthTasks, are evaluated using the same published methodology and evidentiary standards based on publicly available primary sources. The benchmark is provided for informational and research purposes only and does not constitute an endorsement, certification, warranty, or guarantee regarding any vendor, product, or service.
Methodology. Scores reflect documented capability coverage based on publicly available primary vendor sources, including product documentation, help centers, knowledge bases, API documentation, and other primary-source materials available at the time of review. Scores are intended to measure documented capability coverage under the published methodology and should not be interpreted as measures of product quality, customer satisfaction, usability, market share, or overall suitability. A capability marked as not supported indicates that HealthTasks did not identify sufficient publicly available evidence to verify support under the published methodology. It does not necessarily mean the capability is absent or unavailable.
Process. Research is produced using AI-assisted analysis together with human review and is refreshed periodically. While reasonable efforts are made to ensure accuracy and consistency, errors or omissions may occur, and vendor documentation may change over time. Users should independently verify information before making purchasing, procurement, or business decisions. Machine-readable benchmark data and methodology are available at /benchmark/dataset.
Updates and Corrections. Vendors and members of the public may submit corrections or additional primary-source documentation for review. Submissions are evaluated using the same published methodology and evidentiary standards applied to all vendors. Accepted corrections may be incorporated into the current release, published in the benchmark changelog, or included in a subsequent benchmark release.
Trademarks. All company names, product names, logos, and trademarks are the property of their respective owners and are used solely for identification, comparative research, and informational purposes. Their use does not imply any affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from their respective owners.
Clinical tracking is the hours, encounter, skills-checkoff, and evaluation layer. It is one module of CEM, not the whole category. HealthTasks leads that module (5/5) and the full rubric (36/37). Typhon and Trajecsys are tracking-oriented products and trail on placements, compliance, curriculum, and platform.
Same 2026.4 evidence model as the overall CEM ranking. Tracking score is cited capabilities in the Clinical Tracking module. Full CEM is shown so a logbook cannot be the category winner.
| Rank | Platform | Tracking module | Full CEM | Nursing fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | HealthTasks | 5/5 (100%) | 36/37 (97%) | BSN through DNP programs that want one system for tracking and CEM, not a logbook plus a second placement tool |
| 2 | Exxat | 4/5 (80%) | 30/37 (81%) | Large multi-program universities that already run Prism and need a site-facing placement portal |
| 3 | CORE Higher Ed | 4/5 (80%) | 27/37 (73%) | Nursing programs whose bottleneck is cohort placement and site capacity |
| 4 | eMedley | 4/5 (80%) | 25/37 (68%) | Programs that want didactic and clinical records in one older suite |
| 5 | Trajecsys | 4/5 (80%) | 18/37 (49%) | Tracking-first programs; not a full CEM operations platform on this rubric |
| 6 | Typhon | 4/5 (80%) | 18/37 (49%) | NP and specialty tracking; not a full CEM operations platform on this rubric |
| 7 | Project Concert | 3/5 (60%) | 23/37 (62%) | Programs weighting self-study and competency frameworks over hospital-side portals |
Capability cells: Tracking module · Overall CEM ranking · benchmark.json.
This ranking is for program systems of record: placements, compliance, clinical tracking, evaluations, curriculum, and reporting inside a school or multi-program tenant. Hospital onboarding networks, regional consortium portals, placement-only allocators, and graduate medical education systems do a different job, so they are not scored in this release.
ACEMAPP
School–hospital consortium / compliance network
Coordinates rotations, onboarding, and shared compliance across schools and clinical sites. That is a consortium network, not a program CEM system of record for hours, skills, curriculum, and accreditation.
InPlace
Placement allocation / scheduling
Focused on rule-based placement allocation. Placement is one CEM module, not the full stack scored in this release.
Rotation Manager
Hospital-side rotation coordination
Built for the clinical site as a first-class user of rotation coordination, rather than a school-side CEM of record.
myClinicalExchange (HealthStream)
Hospital onboarding network
Standardizes student onboarding for hospitals already on HealthStream. That is a hospital-network workflow, separate from a program CEM tenant.
MedHub / eValue
GME / UME residency management
Graduate medical education and residency operations, rather than nursing CEM or undergraduate clinical tracking.
Track My Clinical
Hours / attendance tracking
Geofenced attendance and checkoffs—tracking features, not a full CEM suite.
Medatrax
Clinical tracking (2026.3 archive)
Included in the frozen 2026.3 release as a tracking-oriented product. It is not in the 2026.4 vendor set.
Release 2026.4 · methodology 1.2 · 37 capabilities · 7 vendors.
