What You Should Know: 

– Wolters Kluwer Health and Abridge have joined forces to integrate UpToDate®, a leading clinical decision support (CDS) solution, into the Abridge AI-powered clinical documentation platform. 

– The collaboration aims to streamline clinical workflows, improve patient care, and reduce the administrative burden on clinicians.

Enhancing Clinical Documentation with Real-Time Evidence

Abridge’s AI-powered platform automates clinical documentation in real-time, reducing the time and effort required for manual note-taking. With this new integration, Abridge’s draft clinical notes will now include links to relevant evidence-based recommendations from UpToDate. This provides clinicians with immediate access to the latest clinical information at the point of care, potentially leading to more informed clinical decisions.

Improving Clinician and Patient Experiences

By streamlining documentation and providing access to trusted clinical information, this partnership offers several benefits:

  • Reduced Administrative Burden: Clinicians can save time on documentation, allowing them to focus more on patient interaction and care delivery.
  • Enhanced Clinical Decision-Making: Access to UpToDate’s evidence-based recommendations can support more informed clinical decisions.
  • Improved Patient Engagement: Increased clinician availability and focus can lead to more meaningful patient interactions and improved patient satisfaction.
  • Reduced Burnout: Streamlined workflows and reduced administrative burden can contribute to decreased clinician burnout.

Addressing Healthcare Challenges

This partnership addresses key challenges faced by health systems:

  • Improving Clinician Satisfaction and Efficiency: By automating documentation and providing access to clinical information, the integration supports clinician satisfaction and efficiency.
  • Combating Burnout: Reducing administrative burden and enhancing clinical workflows can help mitigate clinician burnout.

“Abridge’s efficient, AI-generated note drafts will now be bolstered by UpToDate’s evidence-based resources, relied upon by millions of clinicians,” said Greg Samios, CEO Clinical Effectiveness for Wolters Kluwer Health. “This integration will further transform the clinical workflow in an intuitive, contextual, and responsible manner to help reduce administrative burden while improving patient experiences.”
