Information and point-of-care solutions provider Wolters Kluwer Health introduced a sleek new user interface and an abundance of new Joint Commission Resources (JCR)-approved courses for Lippincott Professional Development, an online education solution for practicing nurses and clinicians. Synonymous with high-quality, evidence-based content, Lippincott Professional Development helps hospitals and other healthcare institutions promote critical thinking and competency in clinical settings.
The new user experience makes the Lippincott Professional Development website more user-friendly and even easier to navigate. Based on the Lippincott Nursing Solutions' integrated approach, the new user-intuitive layout allows nurses and clinicians to expand their clinical knowledge through the course material while seamlessly using the course to increase competency and boost confidence.
The company also released a new Disease-Specific Care Program - developed with JCR - that focuses on Stroke. The content of the new JCR program is based on suggestions from experts at The Joint Commission and the courses were reviewed to ensure that they comply with Joint Commission accreditation and certification requirements. The new Stroke courses join the other JCR courses - the Heart Failure Disease-Specific Care Program; the Compliance Program; and the Patient Safety Program - in the Lippincott Professional Development online corporate education solution.
Other notable additions to the Lippincott Professional Development library are new tutorials on Neurologic care topics and additional new topics in the Pediatrics and Leadership/Management programs.
Lippincott Professional Development includes 'built-in' remediation support that is unlike the offerings of other nursing coursework providers. Included are more than 5,000 links to specific content contained in Lippincott Advisor and Lippincott Procedures, two of the most trusted evidence-based software products used by clinicians at the patient bedside. These links take clinicians directly to additional relevant content that they can use to improve clinical knowledge competency and help build their confidence.
Lippincott's Professional Development consists of evidence-based online courseware organised into programs by key nursing specialties and topic areas including critical and cardiovascular care, obstetrics, neurologic care, pediatrics, behavioural health, compliance, patient safety, leadership, assessment, medication management, ECG interpretation, breath and heart sounds, hearth failure, and stroke. Designed to optimise nurses' clinical performance, most courses include continuing education (CE) credit and are delivered in easy-to-learn, interactive formats.
Wolters Kluwer Health, together with Joint Commission Resources, will continue to add new courses in other disease-specific care areas, and The Joint Commission subject matter experts will review content on a regular basis.
Available immediately, Lippincott Professional Development is sold by group sale to hospitals and others institutions. Customers have the option to purchase the entire solution in an unlimited-use annual subscription or may purchase specific programs separately. Individual courses are also available for sale directly to nurses and clinicians on the company website www.lww.com.
