Integrate patient education for better outcomes

Patients often leave the healthcare setting with limited knowledge of their condition or next steps. They commonly misunderstand or forget 40-80% of information provided by physicians, and 80% of patients have follow-up questions after a health encounter.

Then, they may seek health information wherever they can find it—and encountering misinformation through platforms like social media or chatbots.

UpToDate helps close that gap across your organization by delivering consistent, evidence-based patient education aligned with clinical and drug decision support that:

  • Improves patient understanding
  • Simplifies care plan adherence
  • Increases patient and clinician satisfaction

UpToDate® Enterprise Edition goes further with advanced features and expanded access across care teams to integrated, aligned education leaflets. Equip your clinicians to quickly empower patients with evidence so they feel confident in adhering to their care plan for better outcomes.
