Case Study: Nagasaki University Hospital advances evidence-based medical training with Wolters Kluwer UpToDate

Nagasaki University Hospital - Customer Case Study

Nagasaki University Hospital, one of Japan’s leading centers for cancer and infectious disease care, needed to strengthen evidence-based medicine across clinical care and medical education. To support its mission of training top medical professionals and helping clinicians stay current with rapidly changing medical knowledge, the hospital adopted UpToDate from Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions in 2009.

Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions’ UpToDate gave physicians, residents, and students instant access to authoritative, expert-reviewed guidance at the point of care and in lectures and workshops. The hospital reported improved clinical education, wider specialty coverage, and increased confidence in clinical decision-making; in 2014, usage rose 24% over the prior year, and clinicians used the tool to align with international guidelines and improve care for complex cases.
