Evidence-based Online Point-of Care Reference Now Offers Unprecedented Customization of Over 2,000 Nursing Monographs with Hospital Protocols
Philadelphia, PA (November 3, 2009) – Lippincott Williams & Wilkins announced today that it has added new customization functionality to Lippincott’s Nursing Advisor, an online evidence-based reference that allows instant access to trusted nursing clinical information. 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, and pharmacy.
Lippincott’s Nursing Advisor is designed to give nurses quick and efficient access to the specific information needed to provide optimal patient care, including expert content from the best-selling Nursing2010 Drug Handbook. Drug, disease, treatment, diagnostic test, and signs and symptoms monographs provide essential information such as adverse reactions to a drug, pathophysiology of a disease, or an essential overview of a medical or surgical treatment. With the new customization feature, hospital protocols or critical notes pertaining to those areas can be added improving staff awareness, compliance and care standardization. This feature provides a valuable reference and training tool, customized to individual or system hospitals.
“Hospitals can effectively improve patient care quality, patient safety and staff confidence by incorporating this exceptional resource,” says Judy McCann, MSN, RN, and Chief Nurse Officer at Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. “Lippincott’s Nursing Advisor, with this new feature, now helps facilities ensure their protocols are being applied to patient care, thereby standardizing care and reducing medical errors.”
