Lippincott’s Docucare is an electronic health record (EHR) built by educators for educators. It works with Laerdal simulations scenarios and provides students with the opportunity to build patient records based on classroommanikin-based simulations. This online clinical reasoning tool helps instructors assess performance as it prepares students for modern nursing practice. Key Facts • Docucare is a nursing EHR that has been integrated with real-life hospital systems, Laerdal case scenarios and LWW textbook content. • It is a web-based resource that’s quick and easy to use – start creating assignments today! • True-to-life fully functional assessment, diagnosis and patient history realistically simulate commercially available EHRs. • A Non-Linear User Interface encourages the student to develop clinical reasoning skills in documentation and assessment. What are the learning benefits? Docucare exposes students to clinical reasoning and the documentation of patient care in an educational environment. Students have the opportunity to master the skills of patient record interpretation, patient care and documentation before they enter the real-world clinical setting. How does Docucare work with Laerdal Simulations? LWW and Laerdal have formed the Learning for Saving Lives Alliance to provide seamless integration of curriculum and simulation case solutions. Docucare assignments or case studies are based on Laerdal NLN Vital Sims Volume I & II scenarios. Each assignment contains key information on the patient’s history. The student must document the care given during the simulation or practice exercise and determine appropriate actions. In this way,

Docucare becomes the link between each stage of the simulation learning process.

How user-friendly is Docucare? Docucare is an easily accessible website available both on and off campus. It is designed for intuitive use and can be used on mobile devices, such as iPads, within the Sim Lab itself. Docucare is adaptable for a of variety of care settings and can even be used at home or in the library as homework. How will Docucare help faculty? Many educators struggle to find the time to integrate simulation into the curriculum and once it has been adopted it can be difficult to assess and manage. Docucare is designed to minimise staff workload by allowing students to prepare independently in advance and by tracking student performance. Simply create an assignment, add students and collate your
