UpToDate® Associated with Improved Health Outcomes

February 09, 2012

UpToDate is an evidence-based, physician-authored clinical knowledge system trusted by more than 450,000 clinicians in 149 countries to make the right point-of-care decisions. A recent study found UpToDate to be the only clinical knowledge system associated with improved outcomes in three critical areas:1

  • Shortening hospital stays
  • Reducing mortality rates
  • Improving hospital performance
