How does LNPS help ensure patient safety?
Patient safety notes and competency evaluations
are featured with every skill and procedure, helping
managers and educators to standardise care. All
procedures have been evaluated by nurses and the
evidence level of references is appraised using the
Melnyk’s Rating System for the Hierarchy of Evidence.
Is it customisable?
Yes, LNPS is fully customisable and designed to meet
the needs of varied institutions and care providers.
Here are a few of the customisation options:
• Edit content to match your policies and standards.
• Create an unlimited number of customised
checklists, procedures, and categories.
• Track revisions with the unique Audit Trail feature.
• Delete and reinstate procedures as needed.
• Manage and track users as well as skills checklist
and competency test results.
How are procedures and skills created in LNPS?
Lippincott’s Nursing Procedures and Skills were
created and validated by practising nurses for nurses.
Every procedure in Lippincott’s Nursing Procedures
and Skills is formulated on the most recent evidence
based standards of patient care.
What’s included with each skill and procedure?
Step-by-step sections introduce the nurse to
relevant procedural information based on the
level of detail required. A quick-fire introduction
provides information at a glance but more extensive
information is easily accessed in sections such as
Preparation of Equipment or Patient Teaching.
How often is content updated?
Information is reviewed and updated quarterly and
adapted as clinical guidelines evolve. Whereas a
book may become dated LNPS will always be on the
cutting-edge of nursing care.
How is Lippincott’s Nursing Procedures and
Skills Accessed?
LNPS is accessed online within your hospital or care
institution via IP authentication. This means your
nurses won’t need to logon each time they need
information.

“It is really easy to use and the nurses love it. They no
longer have to carry or search for the old handbook
of nursing procedures. I did have to change some
of the policies online and it is really easy to do this...
I really don’t see any drawbacks to be honest with
you.”
