Here LP outshines Mosby’s by offering
a full selection of procedures in all
the specialty areas needed to practice
in a hospital setting.
Number of
Procedures
1400+
1054 if you include the
optional pediatric and
perioperative procedures.
Pediatric skills and
perioperative skills are an
additional charge.
Lippincott's Procedures continues to
extend its procedure offerings and is
now the only resource to offer a full
series of behavioral health procedures
and fuller perioperative content.
Evidence Based
All LP procedures have the
evidence-based references cited
at the end of the procedure and
have in-text citations linking the
particular steps to their
reference.
We have begun ranking evidence-
based references using Melnyk’s
Rating System for the Hierarchy
of Evidence.

updates are typically tied to
the book updates.
Mosby’s content is primarily tied to
book updates and so brings into
question how often they are reviewed
against current standards and
evidence.
All LP procedures have the evidence-
based references cited at the end of
the procedure. Mosby’s is typically
tied to the books and likely are citing
the references that are associated
with the book update.
Currency
All procedures in LP are reviewed
at least annually but may be
updated more frequently as
warranted.
They claim all skills are
reviewed at least every two
years, and more frequently if
new standards require it. All
skills will be reviewed in
conjunction with the new
editions of the source text
books.
Pediatric content in particular has not
been updated in a while in Mosby.
We update annually. Mosby’s only
every 2 years.
