Publisher Launches First Online Behavioral Health Nursing Procedures for Hospitals
Philadelphia, PA (March 31, 2009) – Lippincott Williams & Wilkins announced today that it has added a new behavioral health module to the comprehensive suite offered in Lippincott’s Nursing Procedures and Skills, its premier online tool for nurses at the point of care. This evidence-based clinical reference serves as a staff reference and development tool and provides support for facilities seeking American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) MagnetTM accreditation. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins is part of Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading provider of information and business intelligence for students, professionals, and institutions in medicine, nursing, allied health, pharmacy and the pharmaceutical industry.
Lippincott’s Nursing Procedures and Skills is the first nursing point-of-care tool to meet the needs of both acute care hospitals and behavioral health facilities by providing psychiatric content. The sixty procedures are the latest addition to the growing collection, which includes additional pediatric and maternal-neonatal modules developed last year. Each procedure undergoes a thorough annual review process to ensure the most up-to-date clinical information.
Developed by a team of expert nurses with extensive clinical experience, Lippincott’s Nursing Procedures and Skills offers an impressive combination of features that help promote, monitor, and maintain staff excellence. The over 900 procedures and skills have been thoroughly reviewed by the in-house Wolters Kluwer Health editorial and professional nursing staff and independent expert reviewers to ensure that all content is in full compliance with nursing practice standards and the guidelines of The Joint Commission, the American Association of Critical Care Nurses, and other respected nursing authorities. More than 1,200 full-color images and videos give nurses accurate, step-by-step guidance and show critical steps of procedures being performed. Accompanying skills checklists can be used to review and monitor staff competency.
