In this first release, you will find 15 entries covering such topics as identifying learning styles, coaching and mentoring, promoting evidence-based practice, using simulation programs, using social media to promote learning...and much more.

Release: May 2017
Introduction
The May release of Lippincott Advisor reflects the following enhancements:
NEW CONTENT
- National Patient Safety Goals have been introduced under the category "Quality and Safety Initiatives." This new content set features The Joint Commission's latest goals for improving patient safety within the health care system, as outlined in the National Patient Safety Goals (NPSG) program. Look for an overview entry explaining the NPSG program, 16 entries on current hospital NPSGs, and corresponding Tests to help your facility achieve accreditation.
- Patient Teaching Navigator has been updated with 48 new entries, including 25 "Teaching about Diseases and Conditions" and 23 "Teaching about Diagnostic Tests" entries, all designed to help you focus on what to relay to patients, how to best communicate concepts and the plan of care, and what to cover for discharge.
- 50 new Diseases and Conditions Tests have also been added in this release: 38 tests on Adult Diseases and Conditions and 12 tests on Pediatric Diseases and Conditions. Each test consists of 10 multiple-choice questions and offers test results and rationales for correct answers.
- 14 new Hospital-acquired Conditions Tests have also been introduced to correspond with the 14 updated Hospital-acquired Conditions entries in this release.
- Other new content introduced in this quarter include new entries covering "Shoulder dystocia" (covered in both Adult Disease and Conditions and Nursing Care Plans for Medical Diagnoses) and 4 new drug monographs (found in Drugs).

Examinees can take a test, review their results, and track assignments by simply clicking on "My Account" on the Lippincott Advisor dashboard. For customers who also subscribe to Lippincott Procedures, assignment records now reflect assignments and completions across both systems for ease of access to staff records.
NEW FEATURES
- With this release, we have further integrated Lippincott Advisor with Ovid and UpToDate. A new linking option, which is available to customers who have Lippincott Advisor and one or both of these products, enables menu links to the designated site(s) as well as “search more” capability. IP authentication or username/password access is required for this feature to work. For customers who already have Ovid reference links turned on, the new Ovid linking feature will automatically appear with the May release. For UpToDate or Ovid customers without existing integration features, please send a request to [email protected] to activate the feature.
- New options to enhance test assignments have been added with this release. A "New Curriculum" option allows administrators to create and manage curriculums to help speed assignment of Lippincott Advisor tests. Another new option allows administrators to assign tests to “All Users” listed in the Users tab.
- We have implemented some user management changes in this quarter. User permissions for Level 1, 1.5, and 2 users have been expanded to reflect the rights similar to those in Lippincott Procedures. This includes Level 1 Administrator assignment and assignment record tab rights. Additionally, we have enhanced the system's import capabilities to enable the system to handle even large User Import files.
- And finally, Lexicomp and UpToDate Drug Handouts are now linked directly to individual drug monographs included in the Drugs content set. The related handouts are listed at the bottom of each drug entry as well as in the right column menu, making it even quicker to find pertinent patient-teaching information.

Introduction
The August release of Lippincott Advisor reflects the following enhancements:
NEW CONTENT AND FEATURES
- This quarter, you'll discover 70 additional new Patient Teaching Navigator entries to assist you with teaching patients about their Diseases and Conditions, the Diagnostic Tests they will need to undergo, and the specific Treatments that will be made available to them. Each entry focuses on what nurses need to explain or show the patient, why the information is so important, and how to best teach the patient to ensure an optimal outcome. Throughout, you'll find a wealth of teaching aids, including easy-to-follow descriptions of diseases, step-by-step guidelines on procedures, clearly labeled diagrams and illustrations, and direct links to patient teaching handouts that you can print out and share.
- And while you're at it, check out the new "Quizzes" to test your knowledge and understanding of information found in the Patient Teaching Navigator categories Teaching Challenges and Teaching Concepts. Each quiz consists of 10 multiple-choice questions and offers test results and rationales for correct answers. Administrators can use the Admin Tools to assign quizzes to individual examinees and preset a specific timeframe and the number of times staff can take a test. Examinees can take a quiz, review their test results, and track assignments by simply clicking on "My Account" on the Lippincott Advisor dashboard. Look for more quizzes on Diseases and Conditions in upcoming releases. Please also know that, for customers who also subscribe to Lippincott Procedures, assignment records now reflect assignments and completions across both systems for ease of access to staff records.
- Other new entries introduced in this release: "Sepsis" (in compliance with new definitions and criteria recently introduced by the American Medical Association); "Opioid use disorder" (opioid abuse is recognized as a growing epidemic in the United States); "Cerebral palsy, pediatric" (identified by the CDC as the most common motor disability in childhood); "Renal failure (chronic), pediatric" (may require maintenance dialysis or kidney transplantation); "Endovascular coiling" (an alternative treatment to microvascular clipping used to stop blood flow into a cerebral aneurysm or AVM).
- Other new functionality includes:
- new user authentication options, such as Athens Authentication and a General User–Self Enrollment option
- a new automated Welcome Email option that provides access details to new users (when importing users through the administrative Import Users option).

Introduction
The February release of Lippincott Advisor reflects the following enhancements:
NEW CONTENT AND FEATURES
- Patient Teaching Navigator — a brand-new, fully integrated approach to educating nurses and clinicians that focuses on exactly what and how to teach patients and families — is now available through Lippincott Advisor as a special add-on feature.* With 5 new content categories, Patient Teaching Navigator streamlines and organizes teaching session information, helping to save time and standardize patient-family teaching throughout your facility. With Patient Teaching Navigator, your staff will always have at their fingertips the necessary tools and direction to deliver the most effective teaching, thereby helping to increase patient satisfaction and HCAHPS scores, reduce hospital readmissions, and improve overall patient outcomes.
- Teaching Challenges provides overviews and invaluable tips, strategies, and timesavers for handling some of the most common teaching challenges, such as dealing with language barriers, noncompliant patients, generational differences...teaching to avoid readmission...teaching nonreaders...teaching cognitively impaired, elderly, and pediatric patients.
- Teaching Concepts reviews the "nuts and bolts" guiding principles that staff need to know to evaluate the learning needs of patients and families and how best to communicate with them. Entries include an overview of adult learning principles...how to assess readiness to learn...how to select the best teaching tools...documentation and evaluation of teaching and learning...teaching about discharge and drug therapies...using teach-back and other highly effective teaching methods.
- Teaching about Diagnostic Tests tells the nurse exactly what information the patient needs to know to understand the purpose of the test and the actual procedure steps. Each entry also provides links to Related Patient Teaching Handouts that nurses can use to distribute to patients.
- Teaching about Diseases shows the nurse how to demystify the daunting aspects of disease to best explain what the disease is...how and why it occurs...risk factors associated with disease...how to prevent complications...what tests may be ordered...what treatments are available...what the patient needs to do for follow-up after discharge. Each entry clearly illustrates the anatomical structures involved, directing the nurse what to show the patient to understand the normal physiology and pathophysiology and how specific treatments may help to reduce symptoms and eradicate disease...and advising the nurse how to gear explanations to the patient's condition and individual needs. Links to Related Patient Teaching Handouts are also included.
- Teaching about Treatments covers essential information the nurse should relay about the purpose of the treatment based on the patient's condition...its benefits and risks...how and when it will be performed, and how long it will last...how the patient should prepare for the procedure...what the patient can expect during and after the procedure. Entries include easy-to-understand illustrations and diagrams and links to Related Patient Teaching Handouts.
*Note: Patient Teaching Navigator is fully integrated with the rest of Lippincott Advisor and will be updated according to the same quarterly schedule. It will be made available to all current subscribers for a nominal additional fee. Please contact your sales representative for more information.

Each long-term care plan corresponds with a similarly titled long-term care disease entry, which has been updated to provide the essential information you need to deliver the best possible patient/resident care. Look for long-term care–specific warnings, tips, and associated procedures in each disease entry.
