Case Study: University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust improves point-of-care decision-making with Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions’ UpToDate

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust Adopts UpToDate® Anywhere for Quick Access to Trusted, Evidence-based Clinical Information at the Point-of-Care

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, a major NHS trust treating over a million patients annually, sought to embed evidence-based clinical decision support into its point-of-care practices. The Trust turned to Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions and adopted its UpToDate solution to provide clinicians with quick access to trusted medical information to improve patient safety and care quality.

The solution implemented by Wolters Kluwer provided the Trust's clinicians with access to UpToDate's evidence-based recommendations on award-winning mobile apps, integrating it into their workflow and a new mobile handover system. This led to a 50% decrease in medication errors in a targeted study and provided significant support for clinician training and professional revalidation, demonstrating measurable improvements in both patient safety and operational efficiency.
