PLATFORM UPDATES
July 15, 2015
We’ve made some exciting enhancements to Lippincott DocuCare for the Fall 2015 semester! These updates will be available when you
access your DocuCare account beginning the week of July 15th, 2015. You’ll find a new “SimMode” option for using simulated time, a new
lab for urinalysis, and 20 new pre-populated cases aligned with vSim for Nursing scenarios in Fundamentals and Pharmacology.
SimMode
SimMode is a functionality that will allow an instructor to assign simulations that are programmed to start at a pre-determined fixed
time of the instructor’s choosing (instead of running in real time). For example, this allows the student at a 9:00am class to run a
patient scenario that begins at 3:00am. All medication and procedures would stem from this fixed start time based on a 24-hour day.
Item
Description of Update
Case Info tab- Instructor
Instructor elects to
use SimMode time
Instructors have the option to select a checkbox that reads
“Would you like to set a fixed simulation start time?” If the
instructor does NOT select this box, the case/assignment
will default to using real time.
Instructor
enters
desired
simulation
start date and time
Once the SimMode checkbox has been selected, textboxes
appear for entry of desired simulation start date and time.
Instructor must select “save” in order to retain this entered
content.
Student Experience
Student completes
assignment
using
SimMode time.
When SimMode has been applied to an assigned case, the
clock at the upper left corner of the screen will be
accompanied by a notation (see screenshot) indicating that
Simulated Time is being used rather than Real Time. As a
student works through an assigned case using SimMode,
they should document time as needed according to the
simulated clock.
If a student attempts to document an action at a time that
is before patient admission or in the future relative to the
SimMode clock, an error message will display indicating that
an invalid time has been entered.

Urinalysis Assessment Lab
At the request of our instructors, Lippincott DocuCare has incorporated a new urinalysis lab as an option on the Diagnostics tab. This
will provide students with a more realistic charting experience because urinalysis is a common lab that is ordered for patient
assessment. As with other labs on the Diagnostic tab, results from the urinalysis lab will transfer to the Flowsheet tab giving
students an opportunity to easily review all lab results in one place.
