Case Study: Kurashiki Central Hospital delivers evidence-based world-class care with UpToDate from Wolters Kluwer

Kurashiki Central Hospital - Customer Case Study

Kurashiki Central Hospital, a private teaching hospital in Okayama Prefecture, Japan, needed a way to support evidence-based, patient-centered care across a large and busy clinical environment. The hospital turned to Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions’ UpToDate clinical decision support resource to help physicians quickly access trusted, comprehensive medical information at the point of care.

With Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions’ UpToDate, Kurashiki Central Hospital gave clinicians access to more than 10,000 clinical topics across 21 specialties, supporting better diagnosis, treatment, research, and medical education. The result was faster access to graded recommendations, stronger evidence-based practice, and improved confidence in delivering high-quality care to more than 1,000 inpatients and 2,700 outpatients treated each day.
