Trusted solutions in a rapidly evolving ecosystem

The importance of medical librarians in hospitals and health systems is only growing in the face of a rapidly evolving ecosystem. And yet, as the speed of new medical research, technology, and information accelerates, budgets and resourcing declines.

Since medical librarians impact the entire scope of care by curating and providing essential information, and supporting research and clinical studies, they have to be prudent in selecting the best content partners for their institutions.

This is why medical librarians value the UpToDate® suite of solutions.
