Wolters Kluwer Health has announced a collaboration with Microsoft to integrate its UpToDate clinical decision support (CDS) solution into Microsoft Dragon Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Microsoft Teams. The integration enables clinicians and care teams to access evidence-based clinical intelligence directly within their documentation, communication, and collaboration workflows.
The partnership introduces UpToDate as a clinical intelligence layer for generative AI capabilities embedded in Microsoft productivity tools. The collaboration is positioned as an advancement for clinicians and healthcare organizations by enabling access to reliable clinical information at the point of care. Integrating UpToDate into Microsoft Dragon Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Microsoft Teams is intended to support clinical decision-making while helping healthcare organizations modernize workflows and implement AI strategies.
The integration is enabled through healthcare agent services available within Microsoft Copilot Studio. Through this framework, clinicians can receive real-time, contextually relevant clinical answers grounded in UpToDate content. The responses are fully cited and integrated into documentation tools, generative Q&A experiences, and enterprise productivity experiences, allowing clinicians to obtain clinically governed insights without leaving their workflow environment. The integration enables clinicians to access evidence-based answers in real time within the context of their workflows.
UpToDate clinical content is developed by more than 7,600 expert clinicians worldwide who serve as physician editors and peer reviewers. Within Microsoft Dragon Copilot, the integrated UpToDate-owned content includes more than 13,000 medical topics and approximately 10,000 graded clinical recommendations. Additional resources include diagnostic and treatment algorithms, laboratory interpretation guidance, clinical tables and graphics, UpToDate Lexidrug medication monographs, and patient education materials produced by UpToDate.
