Develop and continually improve nurse competency

The American Nurses Association defines competency as an expected level of performance that integrates knowledge, skills, abilities, and judgments. Is your organization adequately developing and maintaining competency?

Optimize staff competency

Establish a work environment that optimizes staff competency to foster clinical excellence, improve patient outcomes, and ensure well-being for nurses. Access the clinical tools and educational resources to ensure that staff meets established standards to deliver high-quality patient care.

Meet the challenges of the rapidly evolving environment

Offer a comprehensive set of continually updated, evidence-based procedures, clinical decision support, and educational resources to provide nurses with valuable skill-building tools and unlimited access to on-demand continuing education resources.

Save time and money

Save money and nurse educator time on developing orientation, onboarding, competency validation and management, and cross-training while helping your nurses remain engaged and empowered to pursue lifelong and self-directed learning.

Healthcare staff reductions are up 54%, leading to millions of job losses

As COVID-19 hospitalizations stabilize, and state and federal emergency funding dries up, hospitals are examining how best to drive new revenue and simultaneously cut costs as they face expenses that remain at historic highs.

I believe educators are influencers and leaders. They’re the boots on the ground, getting information to the nurses who use the tools. And what we’ve seen are constant upticks in Lippincott Solution usage. Now we come together as a team to make recommendations that come out of Lippincott best practices to align with policy.

Lippincott Procedures and Advisor have been valuable in our training programs. I recently conducted Neurological Assessment Training for our Medical Surgical nurses and was very happy with Lippincott’s content and presentation. We referred to Lippincott’s arm strengths and leg strengths videos—the nurses loved them. The detail provided by Lippincott helped our nurses learn quickly and effectively.

Before Lippincott, it was very difficult to see who was attending trainings and how frequently each clinician received training. Now Lippincott enables me to see who attends each skills fair and allows me to assign quizzes to those who do not attend. We even take Lippincott one step further: during performance appraisals, our directors pull up completed quizzes in Lippincott to incorporate into reviews. We use Lippincott Procedures so that we have complete confidence our staff is always trained on the most current, evidence-based procedures.
