Wolters Kluwer Health, a global provider of trusted clinical technology and evidence-based solutions, has announced that Novant Health is utilising the Lippincott Solutions suite to advance its wide-ranging quality improvement initiatives focused on standardising care across 15 acute care hospitals and medical centers in four US states. By equipping nurses with readily available evidence-based decision support and clinical education resources, Lippincott Solutions plays an important role in helping Novant Health facilities maintain Magnet Recognition.
Novant Health relies on Lippincott Solutions to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving healthcare environment by continually driving improvements in quality and core metrics. In particular, the suite of solutions has helped Novant Health overcome issues that contributed to unwanted variations in care - a challenge with 26,000 caregivers and 6,000 nurses in the organisation treating patients.
Novant Health deployed the full suite of Lippincott Solutions, including Lippincott® Procedures, a web-based collection of guides to more than 1,700 procedures, and Lippincott® Advisor, which consists of over 17,000 online, evidence-based clinical monographs. Novant Health also utilises Lippincott Professional Development Collection, an online clinical education and competency validation solution with more than 370 online courses - most accredited for continuing education (CE) - and a series of courses co-developed with Joint Commission Resources. Lippincott Blended Learning offers Novant Health nursing education teams an online library of customisable lesson plans supporting instructor-led training and a flipped classroom environment.
According to Tracey Whitley, Clinical Practice Specialist at Novant Health, these resources have become integral to maintaining Magnet status at Novant Health facilities, a distinction achieved by only 9 percent of US healthcare organisations and seen as the gold standard of nursing excellence by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
