Healthcare publisher Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW), part of Wolters Kluwer Health, US, has announced enhancements to Lippincott's Nursing Procedures and Skills, its reference and training tool for nurses. With 120 maternal-neonatal nursing procedures and increased customisation resources for nurse managers, Lippincott's Nursing Procedures and Skills is one of the most comprehensive and flexible nursing tools available to hospitals today. It continues to offer evidence-based clinical reference and training for nurses and unprecedented support for hospitals seeking American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Magnet accreditation.
The new maternal-neonatal procedures, developed by practicing maternal-neonatal nurses, are in addition to the existing base of over 780 procedures currently offered in Lippincott's Nursing Procedures and Skills, including 200 pediatric procedures added earlier this year. Each procedure undergoes a thorough annual review process to ensure up-to-date clinical information.
Developed by a team of expert nurses with extensive clinical experience, Lippincott's Nursing Procedures and Skills offers an impressive combination of features that help promote, monitor, and maintain staff excellence. The nearly 900 procedures and skills have been thoroughly reviewed by the in-house Wolters Kluwer Health editorial and professional nursing staff and independent reviewers to ensure that all content is in full compliance with nursing practice standards and the guidelines of The Joint Commission, the American Association of Critical Care Nurses, and other respected nursing authorities. More than 1,200 full-colour images and videos give nurses accurate, step-by-step guidance and show critical steps of procedures being performed. 'Quick Lists' provide brief refreshers when time is critical.
