Wolters Kluwer Health announced UpToDate® Expert AI, a new generative AI-powered clinical decision support (CDS) solution designed to support the needs of both doctors and healthcare systems. UpToDate Expert AI sets a new standard in how healthcare professionals can easily access evidence-based answers to medical questions at the point of care, while supporting healthcare organizations’ efforts to responsibly integrate AI into their infrastructure and workflows.
UpToDate Expert AI is the next evolution of UpToDate, the market-leading CDS solution used at thousands of hospitals around the world. Similar to a chatbot, UpToDate Expert AI provides fast access to GenAI-powered answers to clinical questions, based on UpToDate’s expert-authored and peer-reviewed content. Users receive context-rich responses for each question with single-click access to the assumptions driving the answers, the source of the answer in UpToDate, and the step-by-step rationale used to generate it, allowing clinicians to quickly review recommendations, and then decide their next steps in patient care.
UpToDate Expert AI offers a unique approach to developing answers: UpToDate Expert AI’s Clinical Intelligence answers medical questions by emulating how expert clinicians reason and act, through a robust, multi-layered validation framework. Clinical Intelligence leverages the expertise of Wolters Kluwer’s 7,600 medical experts. This approach ensures the algorithms are expert-driven at every step of an interaction. This rapid synthesis of complex information helps clinicians make faster, more informed decisions, supporting better patient outcomes.
