Nursing & Health Innovations: Lippincott Advisor & Procedures

Lippincott Advisor is a collection of evidence-based content that provides practicing nurses with instant access to online references at the point of care. The program allows users to identify the information they need quickly and easily. Nurses can browse by topic or category, scroll through alphabetical lists of monographs, or perform a search to identify a particular monograph. Each entry includes extensive cross-reference hypertext links between and within content sets.

Lippincott Procedures, which may also be accessed from within Lippincott Advisor, provides detailed descriptions of procedures in a program that allows users to identify the procedure they need quickly and easily. Users can scroll through an alphabetical list, browse by discipline, category, or subcategory, or perform a search to identify a particular procedure. Each entry provides complete instructions, including the equipment needed, preparation guidelines, implementation steps, special considerations, patient teaching information, documentation, and references. Video clips are included to clarify complex procedures. Each procedure is linked with at least one quick list. Quick lists provide a quick, less-detailed version of a procedure when only an overview is needed. Managers can use the program as an integrated system for assessing and tracking staff competency. Each procedure is linked with at least one skills checklist and a procedure test that allows managers to assess staff performance. Lippincott Procedures can be used as a reference source for staff and students and as a training management system to track skill competencies.
