Video case study, New Zealand Instance of Lippincott Procedures

Global information company Wolters Kluwer recently visited the South Island to produce this video case study of the New Zealand Instance of Lippincott Procedures, an online, evidence based resource that provides real-time access to step-by-step guides for over 1,700 evidence-based procedures and skills in a variety of specialty settings.

The New Zealand Instance of Lippincott Procedures was implemented in partnership between the South Island Alliance and Midland region. There are now 16 DHBs throughout New Zealand using the resource. From the South Island, Kate Rawlings, Programme Director, South Island Workforce Development Hub; Neil Hellewell, Nurse Educator, Canterbury DHB; and Ella Bonnington, Student Nurse, Ara Institute of Canterbury, are all featured in the video.

Trigger Review Feedback Form

We realise that while Lippincott is evidence based and reviewed yearly there may be times when a procedure may require further consideration within the New Zealand context. If there is something on Lippincott NZ Instance that you would like to request a review of, or provide other feedback on, you are able to complete a Trigger review feedback form. This form allows you to identify the change you request that ensures patient safety/risk is managed or state the rationale for creating a new procedure (in a national context):

Please note that as Lippincott is evidence based you will be required to provide evidence to support your request. When completed, the form should be sent to your DHB/Organisation contact. If you are unsure who that person is, see the list of contacts at the bottom of this page.

Lippincott New Zealand Instance Survey

As a way of evaluating the impact of Lippincott New Zealand Instance a survey was undertaken in 2016 involving all participating organisations. These online clinical procedures have now been available in New Zealand for over 8 years and with the increased number of users it was timely to again ask users about their experiences with Lippincott. In September 2020 it was agreed to redo the initial survey with the addition of two questions in relation to the recent COVID-19 pandemic.

Four hundred and seventy eight participants completed the survey and a report of the responses provides an overview of feedback on both a regional1 and a national basis, noting that Lippincott is available across the health sector (hospitals, community, primary care, NGOs and aged residential care facilities) in those DHB regions. This also includes the tertiary education providers who have an undergraduate nursing programme.
