Wolters Kluwer Health just announced a big deal with Microsoft to change the way medical work is done. The team added UpToDate, a top clinical decision support tool, to the Microsoft ecosystem. This change makes it possible for Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Teams to get expert medical data right away. As a result, doctors can now look at verified evidence while writing about patient care or talking to other teams.
Making AI better in healthcare
This partnership is also a big step toward bringing digital health strategies up to date. The integration uses the healthcare agent service that comes with Copilot Studio. So, users can get answers that are relevant to their situation and fully cited without having to leave their active windows. This smooth connection makes sure that professionals can make smart decisions when it matters most.
“This collaboration represents an important milestone for clinicians and healthcare organizations by delivering reliable and effective clinical information at the point of care,” said Yaw Fellin, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Clinical Decision Support and Provider Solutions, Wolters Kluwer Health. “UpToDate is the trusted, clinical-grade intelligence layer that Microsoft and health systems can depend on to power integrated, workflow-embedded generative AI. By bringing UpToDate into Dragon Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Teams, we are strengthening clinical decision-making and supporting healthcare organizations as they modernize workflows and advance their AI strategies.”
The system also has more than 13,000 medical topics and 10,000 graded suggestions. It also has Lexi-Drug medication monographs and a lot of information for patients.
“We’re proud to partner with Wolters Kluwer to bring UpToDate’s trusted clinical guidance directly into Dragon Copilot for all customers,” said Hadas Bitran, Partner General Manager, Health & Life Sciences at Microsoft. “By enabling the integration of UpToDate into the Dragon Copilot experience, we’re helping clinicians access evidence-based answers in real time, right in the context of their workflow. This collaboration reinforces our commitment to delivering safe, intelligent, relevant and contextual clinical experience that empowers care teams to make informed decisions with confidence.”
In the end, this partnership gives care teams more confidence to do their jobs. It combines the best clinical content with the newest AI tools to improve patient outcomes.
