Building a healthier future together: Wolters Kluwer's commitment to strategic collaborations

Navigating the complexities of modern healthcare requires more than just innovative solutions—it demands meaningful, strategic collaboration.

At Wolters Kluwer, we believe partnerships are a powerful force for transformation, enabling us to unlock new potential to enhance patient outcomes and streamline care delivery.

By aligning with organizations that share our dedication to advancing healthcare, we empower clinicians and care teams with the tools and insights needed to make confident, timely decisions that truly make a difference.

The ‘why’ behind our vision

At Wolters Kluwer, we recognize the importance of unified solutions that accommodate the entire care delivery and patient journey. For decades UpToDate®, the market-leading clinical decision support (CDS) suite of solutions, has had one clear purpose: improving care by optimizing the critical interactions between clinicians and patients. Healthcare is an inherently collaborative experience—among patients, clinicians, and care teams. Strengthening those connections across the care continuum has always been our ultimate goal.

We achieve this by delivering the best information at the point of care, driving innovation in CDS, and improving patient engagement solutions. One example is our recently expanded approach to delivering analytics and insights. Through our enterprise solutions, we now offer richer analytics that enable health systems to maximize their resources. By bundling more content and providing subscription-based solutions, we’re helping care teams access the best evidence-based information without barriers. This strategic focus is particularly critical in addressing challenges like clinician satisfaction, resource optimization, speed of healthcare decisions, and care quality in today’s evolving healthcare landscape.

Fostering strategic partnerships

True partnerships extend beyond simply integrating complementary technologies. They are built on a foundation of deep understanding and the ability to integrate comprehensive solutions directly into healthcare workflows to create organizational-level value. This drives us to work hand-in-hand with clinical and technical leaders within healthcare institutions to ensure our solutions meet both current and future needs. However, to truly support the pace of innovation required, with a focus on integrating workflows that bring value directly to our users at the point of care, we are enlisting collaborators who share our mission.

Recent collaborations with cutting-edge organizations demonstrate innovative approaches to scaling workflow integration and care delivery. Recently announced collaborations will place UpToDate content further into the workflow to make it more accessible to clinicians across the care continuum.

  • Microsoft plans to integrate UpToDate into healthcare agent service in Microsoft Copilot Studio using GenAI to deliver patient-specific, evidence-based medical content through Microsoft Dragon Copilot ambient listening and other point of care workflows.
  • Abridge integrates ambient scribing and evidence-based medicine directly into clinicians' workflows, reducing the administrative burden of note-taking and allowing clinicians to stay focused on care.
  • Suki an AI-powered ambient solution, will include access to relevant UpToDate evidence-based content to help reduce the administrative burden for clinicians, supporting better care for patients.
  • Corti will integrate evidence-based information from UpToDate into real-time AI platforms, enhancing consultations by providing trusted, evidence-backed answers and making AI documentation more reliable and patient-focused.

These collaborations illustrate a shared vision of innovation focusing on empowering care teams and breaking down information silos.

Meaningful workflow enhancements

Healthcare innovation thrives on collaboration. No single company can solve every challenge alone. In addition to our content integrations, we are developing relationships with key workflow tools that address administrative burden, documentation enhancement, and more:

  • Wellsheet aims to streamline access to critical clinical information, reduce cognitive burden, and enhance patient care by empowering clinicians with AI-powered clinical workflows with the UpToDate tools they need at the point of care.
  • Phrase Health will enable IT, informatics, and quality teams to easily and efficiently align trusted clinical guidelines within existing electronic health records (EHR) governance workflows, allowing clinicians to consistently access reliable recommendations.
  • Lumeris, with its Tom™ AI platform, supports overburdened providers while enhancing patient access through a comprehensive Primary Care as a Service™ model.
  • ZeOmega incorporates UpToDate to deliver expert content that improves payer care management, creating better member experiences that can drive measurable health outcomes.

By bridging gaps in interoperability and addressing industry inefficiencies, we are collectively driving significant change in how care is delivered.

Enabling interoperability and delivering on our mission

Interoperability is the backbone of effective partnerships. For partnerships to succeed, they must align with clients’ specific needs while also delivering measurable end-user value. That’s why we make our evidence-based content accessible through APIs, offer customizable integration options, and bridge the gap between disparate systems.

With a goal of efficient and informed care delivery, our solutions actively address critical challenges like clinician burnout, resource management, and patient outcomes, empowering healthcare organizations to deliver measurable value.

Looking ahead

The future of healthcare lies in strategic collaboration. By partnering with forward-thinking organizations, Wolters Kluwer will continue to deliver high-impact solutions addressing the industry’s most pressing challenges. But our commitment extends beyond innovation—it’s about driving real value for hospital systems, clinician care teams, and patients.

Our focus will continue to be on bringing our unmatched expertise and trusted content together with industry collaborators, to deliver value and innovation.  Together with collaborators like Abridge, Corti, Lumeris, Microsoft, Phrase Health, Suki, Wellsheet, ZeOmega and more, we are reshaping the healthcare landscape.

This is how we’re building a healthier, more connected future for everyone—and we’re just getting started.
