Lippincott® DocuCare, with the largest library of patient records, Laerdal® simulations, and integrated Lippincott® Advisor and Procedures, offers a realistic, evidence-based EHR platform that builds job-ready skills, fosters safe care, and empowers faculty with effective teaching tools.
New and noteworthy ways to make simulation realistic, flexible, and collaborative
Explore five DocuCare capabilities that help instructors create realistic patient-care experiences, adapt simulations as they unfold, and evaluate student documentation more efficiently.
Assign multiple students to the same patient chart for collaborative documentation practice. Students can view saved updates from teammates and contribute their own charting, while instructors can evaluate group work and provide private feedback to individual students.
Control when individual students see orders, test results, and other hidden information, then reset hidden information with one click. Instructors can introduce new information as the scenario progresses while preserving the intended timing and sequence.
Set a consistent simulation start time while allowing the chart date to align automatically with when each student launches the assignment. This reduces manual date updates and supports a more consistent simulation experience.
Create one simulation assignment for multiple course sections while maintaining a unique patient chart for each section. Instructors can reduce duplicate setup while delivering a consistent experience across the program.
Use optional dose verification to prompt students to confirm medication doses before administration. Medication strengths can also appear on barcode and QR labels when entered, helping students practice careful medication review in a realistic workflow.
Having an academic EHR simulator across our curriculum is absolutely essential training for future nurses. It allows faculty to give students real, actionable feedback on their documentation while sharpening their clinical judgment, which is so critical in practice. Charting is patient care, so it is imperative for students to understand that every detail they document impacts outcomes and protects both the patient and their own careers. It’s a key tool in preparing safe, confident, and competent nurses.
DocuCare enhances fidelity of nursing simulation because nursing care always involves order management and accurate documentation to prevent medical errors.
