Publisher Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW), part of Wolters Kluwer Health, US, has announced that ProMedica Health System (PHS) will provide nursing information in Lippincott's Nursing Procedures and Skills and Lippincott's Nursing Advisor to the nurses in their facilities. ProMedica Health System is a not-for-profit healthcare organisation that cares for more than 2.4 million patients annually.
Developed by a team of expert nurses with extensive clinical experience, Lippincott's Nursing Procedures and Skills and Lippincott's Nursing Advisor offer a combination of features that help promote, monitor, and maintain staff excellence. By having institution-wide online access to almost 1,000 evidence-based procedures and skills in Lippincott's Nursing Procedures and Skills and the point-of-care information found in Lippincott's Nursing Advisor, ProMedica's nurses are able to find trusted answers to critical nursing questions quickly and easily.
Lippincott's Nursing Procedures and Skills is also integrated in the HealthStream Learning Center (HLC), allowing ProMedica, and other HealthStream customers, to efficiently handle the assignment, tracking and reporting of procedures as learning activities.
Lippincott's Nursing Procedures and Skills gives nurses accurate, step-by-step guidance for almost 1,000 procedures. It also provides skills checklists and competency tests on each procedure to help facilities verify their staff competence. Each procedure undergoes a thorough annual review process to ensure the most up-to-date clinical information is provided. Facilities are able to customize the program and procedures to meet their specific needs.
Lippincott's Nursing Advisor is designed to give nurses easy access to the specific information needed to provide optimal patient care, including drug, disease, treatment, diagnostic test, care plan, patient teaching, and sign and symptom information. Unique customisation features allow hospital protocols or critical notes pertaining to those areas to be added, improving staff awareness, compliance and care standardization. This feature provides a valuable reference and training tool, customized to individual or system hospitals.
