Finding trustworthy and accurate clinical information can frequently be challenging, especially when physicians are faced with difficult clinical cases. Hence, the role of reliable evidence-based clinical information support resources has become increasingly important.
Multiple studies have demonstrated that UpToDate is the only clinical decision support resource associated with improved outcomes, helping physicians make the best possible treatment and diagnosis decisions for their patients:
A published study by researchers at Harvard showed that hospitals using UpToDate experienced shortened hospital stays, fewer deaths and better quality performance.1
A Japanese study published in the International Journal of Medical Informatics found a significant association between use of UpToDate and reduced diagnostic errors. Physicians who used the resource had a significantly lower rate of diagnostic errors (2%) compared with a control group not using it (24%).2
