UpToDate
UpToDate® is an evidence-based, physician-authored clinical decision support resource which clinicians trust to make the right point-of-care decisions. More than 5,700 world-renowned physician authors, editors and peer reviewers use a rigorous editorial process to synthesize the most recent medical information into trusted, evidence-based recommendations that are proven to improve patient care and quality. More than 850,000 clinicians in 164 countries and almost 90% of academic medical centers in the United States rely on UpToDate to provide the best care. That trust has been earned because of the integrity of our recommendations, including the fact that we never accept funding from pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers or other commercial entities.

Depth and Breadth of Content UpToDate topics are viewed more than 21 million times per month, and our 2012 subscriber survey found that clinicians find the answers to their question over 90% of the time. This success reflects the breadth (20+ specialties) and depth of our clinical content (over 10,000 topic reviews, each of which answers multiple clinical questions).

UpToDate is the ONLY clinical decision support resource associated with improved outcomes. More than 30 research studies confirm widespread usage of UpToDate and its association with improved patient care and hospital performance. One, a study by researchers at Harvard published in the Journal of Hospital Medicine in 2011, showed that hospitals using UpToDate experienced shortened hospital stays, fewer deaths and better quality performance than non-UpToDate hospitals.
