Publisher Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW), US, has added new resources to help prevent hospital-acquired conditions to Lippincott’s Nursing Advisor. Lippincott’s Nursing Advisor is an online evidence-based reference that allows instant access to trusted nursing clinical information. It provides nurses with updated, evidence-based, actionable and point-of-care best prevention practices for each of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMMS) identified hospital-acquired conditions.
The point-of-care tool allows a facility to include its own customised protocols, such as specific present-on-admission (POA) coding instructions. The added resources in Lippincott’s Nursing Advisor also give clear guidelines for what to do when prevention measures fail.
Lippincott’s Nursing Advisor is designed to give nurses quick and efficient access to the specific information needed to provide optimal patient care, including expert content from the best-selling Nursing2011 Drug Handbook. Drug, disease, treatment, diagnostic test, care plan and signs and symptoms monographs provide essential information such as adverse reactions to a drug, pathophysiology of a disease, or an essential overview of a medical or surgical treatment. Unique customisation features allow hospital protocols or critical notes pertaining to those areas to be added, thereby improving staff awareness, compliance and care standardisation.
Institutions can upgrade their subscriptions with integrated access to Lippincott’s Nursing Procedures and Skills or the comprehensive Wolters Kluwer Health Ovid Resource library for a complete nursing reference solution.
