Wolters Kluwer unveils Medi-Span Expert AI with Model Context Protocol (MCP) for digital health -

Wolters Kluwer Health unveiled plans for Medi-Span® Expert AI, which is designed to deliver medication intelligence from Medi-Span for digital health tech developers. Medi-Span, from the makers of UpToDate®, is described as a leading solution used and trusted across the healthcare ecosystem to optimize user medication decisions. An MCP server is now available for select AI developers and is designed to cut customer development timelines and complexity by connecting third-party AI applications and agents with AI-ready Medi-Span content.

Digital health technology companies are rapidly developing agentic AI workflows to meet clinical demand for automation in medication management. Providers and pharmacists want faster, clearer, and more consistent support from the systems they rely on. Existing integration standards for drug information, such as APIs and flat files, are not optimized for agentic AI workflows and can slow AI-driven innovation. The MCP server from Medi-Span connects expert-curated drug content to workflows in a fast, dynamic format ready for use by AI agents. For digital health tech developers, the MCP server can help reduce time to innovation while delivering a robust ecosystem of validated drug content, drug dosing guardrails, and advanced decision logic.

Wolters Kluwer Health expects to expand its Medi-Span Expert AI solutions for use in an array of AI clinical, patient and administrative workflows. Possible applications span the healthcare continuum such as clinical decision support, medication order validation/verification, medication lookup and reconciliation, adverse event monitoring, formulary and benefit management, pricing and contracting, inventory and supply chain optimization.
