UpToDate integrations are creating richer insights faster

The trusted content in UpToDate is aligned to work in concert with a range of Wolters Kluwer Health solutions. For example, UpToDate works seamlessly with Medi-Span® Clinical APIs, a medication decision support solution, and our drug reference solution UpToDate® Lexidrug™.

When solutions are designed to work together, the entire experience becomes more intuitive and effective. In the case of Global Care Hospital in Abu Dhabi, the UpToDate and UpToDate Lexidrug integration is playing a major role in addressing clinical complexity—a growing challenge in the Middle East.

Integration into clinical systems is proving a “gamechanger”

It’s now easy to embed the curated content in UpToDate in many of the systems your health teams rely on. For example, UpToDate can be integrated with top electronic medical record (EMR) platforms, supporting:

  • Reduced clinician burnout.
  • Better decision alignment.
  • Improved patient outcomes.

Hospitals in the IHH Malaysia network are currently preparing to integrate UpToDate into their new EMR system, something they anticipate will be a gamechanger.

“Our clinicians will be able to receive prompts and alerts right within the EMR. For example, the moment they key in a diagnosis, they will see recommendations on the type of investigations to do, the frequency of tests, the medication regime, and so on.”

- Dr. Kamal Amzan, CEO of Gleneagles Hospital Johor (GHJ) and Regional CEO (Southern & Eastern Regions), IHH Malaysia

How can AI driven tools contribute to preventive healthcare?
Committed to the responsible development of AI-powered clinical tools

Artificial intelligence (AI) already plays a role in UpToDate, providing data on how the content is being used and viewed. As this two-minute video explains, these valuable insights can guide health providers’ decision-making around allocation of resources, helping to reduce the burden on overworked clinicians and optimise cost savings.
   
And we are continuing to explore the exciting potential of AI and Generative AI (GenAI) for UpToDate. But, as Manish Vazirani, former Vice President of */dxg CE Health Product Software Engineering at Wolters Kluwer Health, notes, it is important we take the time to do it thoughtfully. “We have a tremendous responsibility to our customers, so responsible AI is important to us. That’s why we haven’t [rushed] on applying it to our products.”

Applying the same rigorous UpToDate approach to innovation

Putting patients at undue risk is not an option in healthcare. And as part of our responsible approach to AI, we want to ensure that the technology we develop delivers the high quality, relevancy, and commitment to evidence-based medicine you’ve always enjoyed with UpToDate. That’s why the same experts who have taken great care to create and guide every word in UpToDate are also working closely with our technology teams to make sure that the way we build our proprietary AI ecosystem is equally trustworthy and responsible.
 
We are also working in collaboration with our customers in this process, testing, and learning to ensure that what we build meets your needs and complies with relevant guidelines and mandates.

Success in clinical GenAI requires a “human touch”

While GenAI is positioned to play a role in improving patient care, more work needs to be done to improve consistency and support safe, appropriate clinical decision-making.
 
And according to Greg Samios, CEO for Clinical Effectiveness, Wolters Kluwer Health, ensuring that people remain at the heart of the process will be important: “I believe we can't lose sight of the human touch, or the quality interactions and trusted data that help push us forward. I look forward to collaborating with the healthcare ecosystem to foster a culture of continuous learning, for a safer future.”
