The knowledge foundation behind the next generation of clinical AI

Key Takeaways

  • Healthcare AI tools need to be purpose-built technology grounded in clinical expertise.
  • Scaling AI should bring clinicians closer to their own clinical judgment and evidence-based information.
  • The UpToDate and Suki integration unites leaders in clinical intelligence and AI-enabled workflows to make trusted, evidence-based information more accessible within the flow of care.
The UpToDate mission is to extend evidence across healthcare organizations, so decisions are grounded in clinical judgment, evidence-based information, and accountable reasoning. Our latest integration with Suki, the leader in Ambient Clinical Intelligence, is helping advance that goal.

The future of healthcare will be powered by intelligence

Patients don't care which AI model their healthcare system uses.

They care whether the care they receive is informed, consistent, and grounded in trusted evidence. As AI becomes embedded throughout healthcare, the real opportunity isn't choosing a model. It's building the clinical intelligence foundation that future care delivery will inherit.

No single company will build that future alone. The pathway to progress is collaboration, in which workflow innovators and healthcare technology leaders come together to embed reliable evidence across the care workflow.

UpToDate® Expert AI’s latest partnership with Suki’s Ambient Clinical Intelligence platform is driving that future.

Extending expertise throughout the care workflow

The real opportunity in healthcare AI isn't the model itself. It's the clinical intelligence foundation that powers every decision, workflow, and outcome. Future healthcare systems must be built on trusted evidence and expert knowledge so that AI can help scale informed, evidence-based care across the enterprise.

The partnership between UpToDate and Suki is an example of how that future can take shape. By integrating UpToDate content into Suki's Ambient Clinical Intelligence experience, clinicians can access trusted clinical answers directly within their workflow and EHR environment. Rather than creating more distance between clinicians and evidence, the partnership helps bring trusted intelligence closer to the point of care.

Clinicians need trusted clinical intelligence from wherever they are in their clinical workflow. Through this partnership, we’re extending the ability for them to easily access answers from UpToDate Expert AI directly from Ask in Suki for Clinicians without having to leave their workflow.

UpToDate Expert AI and Suki: Bringing trusted clinical intelligence into the workflow

As healthcare organizations invest in AI, success will depend on more than powerful models. Clinicians need access to trusted clinical intelligence wherever decisions are being made, without disrupting workflow or requiring additional searches across systems.

The partnership between UpToDate Expert AI and Suki demonstrates how workflow innovation and clinical intelligence can work together to meet that need. Through Suki’s clinical reasoning capabilities, including Ask, clinicians can use natural language to access both patient-specific information and evidence-based clinical answers within a single conversational experience. Whether reviewing medications, lab results, allergies, or seeking guidance on a complex clinical question, clinicians can access relevant information without leaving their workflow.

For UpToDate users, Ask delivers answers grounded exclusively in UpToDate's evidence-based clinical content, supported by transparent sourcing, medication and dosing considerations, and links to the underlying evidence. By connecting trusted clinical knowledge directly to the point of care, the partnership helps make evidence-based decision support more accessible in the moments it is needed most.

The launch of Ask also marks the first product integration of the UpToDate Expert AI API, creating a new pathway for healthcare technology partners to embed trusted clinical intelligence into the tools clinicians already use. By bringing together patient context, workflow innovation, and evidence-based clinical reasoning, the partnership demonstrates how the healthcare ecosystem can work together to build more connected, source-grounded AI experiences at scale.

The future of healthcare won't be defined by which AI model organizations choose. It will be defined by the clinical intelligence foundation those systems are built upon. Partnerships like UpToDate Expert AI and Suki show how trusted evidence, patient context, and workflow innovation can come together to create that foundation.
