Seize the moment: Redefining healthcare at HLTH 2025

Wolters Kluwer and UpToDate are revealing a new vision for transforming care delivery that includes AI without compromise and clinical intelligence rooted in trust and driven by workflow.

Healthcare is at an inflection point, with technology driving a bold new era of care delivery. This moment represents a critical opportunity to align innovation with outcomes, creating a more connected, patient-centered future.

Wolters Kluwer is returning to the annual HLTH conference, which spotlights technological innovations for the entire healthcare ecosystem. But this time, we’re focused on our most important innovation in years: UpToDate® Expert AI, a generative AI (GenAI)-powered clinical decision tool that is faithful to the rigorous standard of UpToDate® and showcases the clinical reasoning of our contributors. Similar to a chatbot, it’s a faster way to get answers to clinical questions without compromising the trust professionals have in UpToDate.

A new vision for care delivery

UpToDate Expert AI fits squarely into Wolters Kluwer’s vision for the future and how our UpToDate® suite of solutions will continue to transform healthcare delivery by empowering hospital systems with trusted, evidence-based solutions.

Our vision is built on four strategic pillars:

  • Enabling fast, safe clinical decisions.
  • Improving care efficiencies.
  • Unifying clinician and patient journeys.
  • Optimizing resource use to drive ROI.

At HLTH, we’ll unveil how our groundbreaking AI solutions and integrated platforms, like the new UpToDate® Connect embedded clinical intelligence solution for digital health tech, are transforming care, from solving today’s challenges to anticipating tomorrow’s needs.

Who stands behind your clinical tools?

As care grows more complex, connecting healthcare professionals to reliable, actionable insights that support stronger, more confident decisions actually becomes harder. All the advanced tech in the world isn’t going to improve clinical outcomes, patient safety, or clinician satisfaction if it isn’t rooted in trust, transparency, and evidence.

It isn’t just about getting the information in front of you at the point of care, it’s about who is standing behind it.

UpToDate is redefining how trusted clinical intelligence shows up in care. UpToDate Expert AI delivers fast guidance, but that is backed by more than 7,600 expert contributors. We help you bring the clinical reasoning of thousands of experts into every query your teams make. Expert validation supports outputs that are clinically appropriate, relevant, and aligned with clinical standards.

The future of healthcare AI values evidence over influence

AI solutions for healthcare that aren’t guided by clinician needs, clinical standards, and expert verification create an “either-or” problem for professionals, forcing them to sacrifice one benefit to achieve another. UpToDate believes in AI without compromise, in which healthcare professionals can have speed-to-answer without giving up trusted evidence, reliability, transparency, and privacy protections.

According to a recent Fierce Healthcare online survey, 76% of physician respondents said they use general-purpose AI tools – like ChatGPT – in their clinical decision-making. However, such tools can lack transparency into sources or may not have access to the most recent studies. While other tools offer more specificity and training on health information, those might come with less privacy for the user. Often, their profile and usage data may be shared with third-party partners, including the potential to share users’ engagement history with advertisers. Some tools even introduce third-party advertising at the point of care.

At HLTH, we will showcase UpToDate Expert AI, which grounds every recommendation in evidence — not ads or algorithms — keeping the clinical moment clean, focused, and free from bias. And unlike platforms that monetize your uncertainty, we help protect your privacy. UpToDate users’ sensitive questions aren’t tracked, sold, or tied to their names.

Clinical intelligence that works where clinicians work

In today’s fast-paced clinical environment, information is only valuable if it fits seamlessly into the workflow. At HLTH, UpToDate is debuting UpToDate Connect, a powerful API solution that allows digital health developers to embed clinical intelligence directly into the tools clinicians already use, reducing friction and enhancing efficiency. UpToDate Connect delivers the clinical intelligence and evidence clinicians already know and trust from UpToDate, so the appropriate information gets to the right person at the right moment, with workflow at the core.

Making connections and building partnerships

Addressing the growing complexity of modern healthcare and meeting the needs of the healthcare organizations will require collaboration. We know clinical intelligence is most valuable when directly embedded wherever a user needs it.

Through our partnership program, we’re working with leaders in ambient-listening clinical documentation, EHR technologies, and AI platforms to put the critical guidance clinicians need where they need it most, helping reduce administrative burden and improve patient-focused, evidence-based recommendations.
