Wolters Kluwer Health and Abridge have partnered to bring UpToDate®—a leading clinical decision support (CDS) tool—into Abridge’s AI-powered clinical documentation platform. This collaboration aims to streamline clinical documentation by integrating UpToDate’s trusted physician-authored content directly into Abridge’s automated system, which uses artificial intelligence to create clinical documentation in real-time. This integration provides clinicians with access to the latest evidence-based recommendations from UpToDate within their Abridge-generated notes, improving the quality of clinical documentation while reducing administrative burdens.
UpToDate is one of the most respected resources in healthcare, offering clinicians reliable, evidence-based information on clinical and drug-related topics at the point of care. The integration of this content into Abridge’s platform means that clinicians can access the most current medical evidence directly from their documentation workflows, allowing them to make better-informed decisions while dedicating more time to patient engagement.
As health systems increasingly look for ways to reduce burnout and boost efficiency, many have adopted Abridge’s ambient clinical documentation platform. Abridge automates time-consuming administrative tasks, freeing up clinicians to focus on patient care. Studies have shown that systems using Abridge have reported significant decreases in burnout, as well as increased satisfaction among both clinicians and patients.
Dr. Shiv Rao, CEO and Founder of Abridge, highlighted the value of this partnership, stating, “By integrating trusted, evidence-based insights into the clinical note, we’re making it easier for clinicians to make informed care decisions in real-time.” Abridge’s platform was designed specifically for medical conversations, enhancing documentation efficiency while enabling clinicians to focus on their patients.
Founded in 2018, Abridge offers enterprise-grade technology that transforms patient-clinician conversations into structured clinical notes in real-time, supported by deep electronic medical record (EMR) integration. Abridge’s AI-generated summaries are mapped to ground truth, ensuring accuracy and reliability. The company has earned high marks for satisfaction, receiving a 95.3 rating from KLAS and being recognized on the 2024 Forbes AI 50 list.
