Healthcare information provider Wolters Kluwer Health has announced a collaboration with the National Association of Directors of Nursing Administration in Long Term Care (NADONA/LTC) that will tap experts from the association's membership to review and certify Lippincott Advisor's long-term care-specific (LTC) content. NADONA/LTC is a professional association dedicated to supporting directors of nursing and senior nursing administrators working in long-term care. Lippincott Advisor is an online clinical decision-support solution used by nurses and clinicians in hospitals and long-term care facilities.
A rotating team of experts culled from NADONA's membership and representing a spectrum of specialties will review all current Lippincott Advisor LTC 'Diseases and Conditions' entries to ensure that each entry addresses the specific needs related to LTC.
Sherrie Dornberger, RN, GDCN, CDP, CDONA, FACDONA, Executive Director, NADONA/LTC, is handpicking the experts and will oversee the effort for NADONA. The team ultimately will assist the Wolters Kluwer clinical team to ensure that each LTC entry addresses current clinical needs of residents in all types of long-term care facilities helping to ensure that every resident is receiving high quality care and that facility is meeting current regulatory requirements.
The agreement also calls for NADONA to continue the collaboration on an ongoing basis whereby its experts will review all of the existing and new LTC-specific Lippincott Advisor programme entries annually. The first round of NADONA-certification is expected to be complete by December 2014.
