4 reasons clinicians choose UpToDate

UpToDate® is like having a trusted advisor by your side—one who understands the challenges clinicians face in today’s healthcare environment. These include the need to treat more patients and the desire to easily access the best information to help patients throughout their respective care journeys. Address these realities by efficiently providing evidence-based clinical recommendations and guidance developed and reviewed by experts in the field. Integrated into clinical workflows, it minimizes the time it takes for you to obtain insights to care for your patients.

How does UpToDate do all of this?

Supports quick and safe decision-making
Clinicians can standardize care and follow best practices with UpToDate’s evidence-based information. This information provides trusted support when making diagnostic decisions, developing treatment plans, and conducting clinical evaluations.
Provides answers for you even when evidence is not clear

An editorial team critically evaluates available medical literature to produce evidence-based, synthesized information—even where the evidence is uncertain or unclear—and grade recommendations based on what’s available.


Other tools won’t provide recommendations unless they’re supported by published evidence, while our rigorous editorial processes provide answers to more of your questions even when the evidence is evolving.

Developed with input from clinicians with deep domain expertise

Created by doctors for doctors who understand your thought process and decision-making flow and structured to reflect both. UpToDate anticipates and answers the questions clinicians would ask in a situation.


7,400 of the world’s experts across 25 specialties contribute to UpToDate, making it a source you can trust.
