Competency Tests
Yes, These assessments consist of
five to ten multiple choice

within the system as well.

added.
For each competency, there
is a brief multiple choice

Integration with a
Learning
Management
System
LP competency tests are currently
integrated with the HealthStream
Learning Center so HS customers
can assign and track all tests as
courses in the HLC.
In addition, we have options to
integrate with other standard LMS
applications as well.
Elsevier indicates that there
are options for LMS
integration available.
Images
Many, but not all skills will
include images-photos and
drawings—that show how to
perform the skill. All images are
in full color.
Images in Mosby’s Nursing
Skills are not embedded in
the procedure so cannot be
viewed within the procedure
text. The user has to view
and print them as a separate
action.
Because images aren’t embedded in
the text, users have to go to several
different sections to obtain all the
information they need. It is a very
clunky user experience.
LP has a much easier user experience.
Video
387 video clips.
Many, but not all skills will
include video clips showing
critical steps of the skill being
performed. Users can view the
videos from within the procedure,
and also on a separate video tab.
Most clips include live humans to
demonstrate steps
Unknown
Videos are in a section titled,
“Demos.” They are not
embedded in the actual
procedure.
Same as for images (above).
Short video clips in LP focus on
enabling the nurse to complete the
task at point of care. Mosby’s is just
animations so not particularly helpful
for this.
