We think that having UpToDate is a win-win-win situation. It’s a win for the patients, who get better care thanks to the clinical staff having access to the latest relevant information. It’s a win for clinicians and nurses, because they can rely on a trustworthy resource in their daily decision-making. And, ultimately, it’s a win for hospital management, who can see an improvement in the quality of care we provide as well as in overall patient satisfaction.
