Lippincott’s Nursing Procedures and Skills adds OpenAthens authentication

18 June 2012

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (part of Wolters Kluwer Health), a leading provider of information and business intelligence in medicine, nursing, allied health and pharmacy, has implemented OpenAthens to simplify access to the organisation’s online resources.

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins announced today that the expert clinical content in Lippincott’s Nursing Procedures and Skills is now available via OpenAthens. This new enhancement will offer greater flexibility and easier access to trusted nursing information.

Lippincott’s Nursing Procedures and Skills gives nurses accurate, step-by-step guidance for more than 1,200 evidence-based procedures. The online resource provides skills checklists and competency tests for each procedure to help facilities verify staff competence. Each procedure undergoes a thorough annual review process to ensure the most up-to-date clinical information is provided. Facilities can customise and add procedures to meet their specific needs.

“The OpenAthens SP access management system simplifies controlled access to the valuable clinically-based procedures and competency resources from Lippincott’s Nursing Procedures and Skills,” says Carolyn Dalton, Senior Digital Product Manager for Lippincott’s Nursing Procedures and Skills. “This important flexibility, combined with the exceptional content and functionality, allow facilities to ensure a consistent high standard of care.”
