Case Study: United Family Healthcare improves patient care with UpToDate integration from Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions

United Family Healthcare - Customer Case Study

United Family Healthcare (UFH), a premier healthcare provider in China, sought to further enhance its world-class, patient-centered care through the adoption of advanced technologies. To support its clinicians' decision-making processes, UFH required seamless access to a leading clinical evidence-based resource, which it found through the integration of Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions' UpToDate with its existing InterSystems TrakCare healthcare information system.

Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions provided UFH with an integration that gave clinicians single-click access to UpToDate's vast medical knowledge base directly within their familiar TrakCare workflow. This eliminated the need to juggle multiple systems and logins. The results were immediate and significant: usage of UpToDate skyrocketed from 350 topic hits per week to over 2,500 within the first three months. This convenient access empowered clinicians to make faster, more informed decisions at the point of care, thereby improving patient safety and the overall quality of care.
