Orientation and Training
According to research, nurses use
reference tools most often when they
are at the bedside. That’s why LP was
designed as a Point of Care tool: it’s
easy to access the tool and to find
information quickly.
We hear ease of use is one of the
selling points for LP over Mosby.
Content Source
LP was authored by clinical
nurses for clinical nurses. These
are nurse experts in the field and
practicing procedures on a daily
basis and so are best equipped to
develop standard procedures for
nurses. These subject matter
experts do extensive literature
searches to build the procedures
from the most relevant evidence
based references.
The content creation is evidence-
based, peer-reviewed, and
current.
A compilation of procedures
from nursing textbooks. The
main source book (Potter) is
created for nursing
education and not clinical
practice:

LP is written for the practicing nurse-
by the practicing nurse- not for a
student nursing textbook. Also the
skills are written for LP and not just
an excerpt after a book publishes.
