"Use of UpToDate and Outcomes in US Hospitals"
Journal Article, Journal of Hospital Medicine, issue 2, volume 7
By Thomas Isaac, Jie Zheng and Ashish Jha, Faculty Affiliate, Information and Communications Technology and Public Policy Project
UpToDate is one of the most widely used computerized clinical knowledge management systems in the nation. The authors found a very small but consistent association between use of UpToDate and reduced length of stay, lower risk-adjusted mortality rates, and better quality performance, at least in the smaller, non-teaching institutions. These findings may suggest that computerized tools such as UpToDate could be helpful in improving care
