Lippincott Procedures

Video case study, New Zealand Instance of Lippincott Procedures

The New Zealand Instance of Lippincott Procedures was implemented in partnership between the previous South Island Alliance (now part of Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora) and Midland region. Access to this product is now available in almost all health districts across New Zealand with the exception of Waitemata and South Auckland districts.

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 district  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.

478 participants completed the survey and a report of the responses provides an overview of feedback on both a regional 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.
