Clinician burnout is one of the most urgent challenges facing healthcare today. But for digital health leaders, it’s also a strategic opportunity. As clinicians navigate increasingly complex workflows, the demand for seamless, trusted decision support—delivered quickly and without disruption—has never been greater. Speed to decision isn’t just a metric; it’s a mandate. The question isn’t whether your platform can deliver—it’s whether it can accelerate clarity without adding friction.
Imagine the value your platform could provide to your clinicians by embedding trusted clinical guidance directly into the workflow. This kind of seamless integration doesn’t just improve care efficiency; it empowers clinicians with confidence in their decisions, reduces cognitive load, and helps combat burnout. By aligning your technology with the realities of clinical practice, you position your platform as a true partner in better healthcare.
The cost of fragmentation
Clinicians are expected to make high-stakes decisions in real time, often while juggling multiple systems and sources of information at the point of care. Every time they leave your platform to search for clinical answers, it introduces friction—slowing diagnosis and treatment decisions, increasing cognitive load, and eroding trust. These interruptions don’t just affect productivity; they impact outcomes, clinician satisfaction and experience, and platform adoption.
Digital health solutions and platforms must evolve from being passive repositories of data to active enablers of clinical decision-making. That evolution starts with an improved workflow integration, resulting in a more streamlined clinician experience.
UpToDate: Trusted content, seamlessly delivered
UpToDate is one of the most widely used clinical decision support resource in the U.S., trusted by clinicians in over 90% of hospitals. Its evidence-based content is authored and continuously updated by more than 7,600 experts, ensuring that clinicians have access to the latest guidance—when and where they need it.
What sets UpToDate apart is its ability to integrate deeply into the platforms clinicians already use. Through partnerships with leading EHRs like Epic, UpToDate is embedded directly into workflows—accessible from patient charts, order sets, and mobile apps like Epic Rover. This level of integration means clinicians don’t need to switch systems or leave their existing workflow to find answers. They stay focused, confident, and efficient.
This same seamless experience is now available to digital health platforms, virtual care providers, and emerging technologies. Whether supporting asynchronous consults, remote monitoring, or AI-enabled triage, UpToDate adapts to the care setting and enhances the clinician’s ability to make informed decisions.
From point-of-care to point-of-decision
Digital health is defined not only by where care takes place, but by how decisions are made and who is empowered to take part in them. Clinicians today are engaging with patients across multiple channels, from ambient scribe-enabled visits to app-based follow-ups and virtual consults. In these changing environments, content must be more than accessible. It must be embedded, contextual, and actionable.
UpToDate helps digital health platforms evolve from static reference tools to dynamic care companions. By delivering real-time clinical support within the workflow, platforms can reduce clinician burnout, improve outcomes, and build lasting trust with their users.
This kind of enablement transforms care from a one-way delivery model into a collaborative decision-making experience. Clinicians regain time and focus, and digital health platforms become the bridge between trust-worthy evidence in real-time and action. By embedding trusted clinical content directly into workflows, UpToDate helps create a more resilient, efficient, and patient-centric healthcare ecosystem.
A smarter path forward
Digital health’s future depends not only on new solutions, but on earning and keeping trust. As care delivery becomes more distributed, asynchronous, and data-driven, clinicians need more than access to information. They need confidence that the answers they rely on are accurate, transparent, and free from hallucinations with a human consistently in the loop.
Digital health platforms are increasingly expected to deliver trusted, evidence-based clinical guidance within the solutions that clinicians use daily. Embedding this kind of rigor directly into workflows elevates a platform from a functional utility to a strategic enabler of care. It allows development teams to prioritize innovation while maintaining the reliability and clinical standards expected in top-tier health systems.
By integrating clinical intelligence into virtual consults, ambient documentation, and AI-driven triage, platforms can better support the evolving needs of care teams and patients. This approach fosters a more connected ecosystem of clinician-centered care, where technology adapts to the dynamic demands of modern healthcare delivery.
Imagine a future where every clinical decision—no matter where it’s made—is supported by clinical evidence, delivered in real time, and trusted by the clinician making it. A future where digital health platforms don’t just support care; they elevate it. UpToDate is leading that future, and together, we can build it.
