UpToDate Enterprise Edition delivers evidence-based content across the care team, enabling clinicians to make informed, confident decisions at the point of care. With AI-Enhanced Search, clinicians can use natural language queries to receive relevant verbatim answers from UpToDate clinical content, saving valuable time.

The AI-powered analytics dashboard can help unlock insights from the organisation's usage data, driving efficiency, population health management, and continuous medical education.

Anthony Lovell, head of undergraduate medical education and NHSE quality lead, said: ‘UpToDate Enterprise Edition supports more consistent, appropriate decision-making for our clinical teams and helps us to reduce variations in the care we provide, ultimately improving the experience for our patients.

‘It's also reassuring to know it's built on peer-reviewed clinical expertise - not untested AI. It's an investment in improving quality and clinical outcomes across our services.'

Christian Cella, vice-president and general manager, International segment, at Wolters Kluwer Health, added: ‘UpToDate Enterprise Edition is designed to meet the needs of BHRUT's modern healthcare teams, combining trusted clinical content with AI-powered tools that enhance decision-making, education, and operational efficiency.'

More than 100 independent studies have linked the use of UpToDate with improvements in hospital performance metrics, including reduced length of stay, fewer medical errors, and decreased unnecessary diagnostic testing.
