Ambient clinical documentation generated by Abridge will now include relevant evidence-based content to help reduce the administrative burden for clinicians while delivering better care for patients

Wolters Kluwer Health and Abridge are partnering to generate more informed documentation by making UpToDate®, a market-leading clinical decision support (CDS) solution, accessible within the Abridge AI-powered clinical documentation platform.

Abridge automates clinical documentation in real-time using AI, reducing the burden and distraction of repetitive administrative tasks for clinicians. UpToDate is one of the most trusted brands in healthcare, providing key clinical and drug information at the point of care. With the integration, Abridge’s draft clinical documentation will include links to the latest, evidence-based recommendations from UpToDate.

Abridge’s efficient, highly accurate AI-generated note drafts will now be bolstered by UpToDate’s evidence-based resources, relied upon by millions of clinicians. This integration will further transform the clinical workflow in an intuitive, contextual, and responsible manner that reduces administrative burden while improving patient experiences.
Greg Samios, CEO Clinical Effectiveness for Wolters Kluwer Health

Access to the most current evidence at the point of care can help inform clinical decisions. Through this partnership, clinicians with UpToDate will have integrated access to relevant clinical information included in their Abridge generated notes. They can then dedicate more time to meaningful patient engagement while alleviating administrative burden, resulting in an enhanced experience for both patients and clinicians.

As health systems explore ways to boost provider satisfaction and efficiency while combating burnout, many are turning to Abridge’s ambient clinical documentation platform. Studies have shown that health systems that use Abridge see significant decreases in burnout and increases in both clinician and patient satisfaction.

“This partnership will introduce trusted, evidence-based insights to exactly the place where they can be most effective for making care decisions—into the clinical note,” said Dr. Shiv Rao, CEO and Founder of Abridge, and a practicing cardiologist. “This innovation is part of a larger discussion with Wolters Kluwer to explore ways to inform Abridge’s healthcare-grade generative AI models with the most trusted clinical content from UpToDate.”
