Information and point-of-care solutions provider Wolters Kluwer has announced a partnership with the Society of Pediatric Nurses (SPN) to review pediatric-specific content for the Lippincott Solutions software suite. With a membership comprising more than 3,500 pediatric nurses, SPN is the premier pediatric nursing society in the US.
The SPN leadership team is selecting a core group of 70 subject-matter experts from its membership to review the pediatric content in Lippincott Advisor and Lippincott Procedures, two of the leading clinical decision support software solutions used by nurses and other clinicians at the bedside. The SPN team will ensure that all of the evidence-based content conforms to the best practice guidelines supported by leading pediatric nursing experts. SPN will also work closely with Wolters Kluwer on an ongoing basis to identify and develop additional topics in pediatric care for inclusion in the two products.
Both products currently include more than 700 evidence-based content entries geared toward the care of children. Categories include more than 300 pediatric procedures, and more than 400 pediatric diseases and conditions, nursing care plans and pediatric treatments. Giving immediate, at-the-bedside access to current, evidence-based information, the software is widely deployed at Children's hospitals and general hospitals with Pediatric departments.
The first set of SPN-approved content is to be incorporated into both products before the end of the year. Lippincott Advisor and Lippincott Procedures are part of Lippincott Solutions, which is a series of comprehensive, integrated software applications that includes advanced online workflow technology, current evidence-based clinical information, and professional development tools for the practicing nurse and associated clinicians.
