Information services provider Wolters Kluwer Health (WK Health), US, has announced that Bali Royal Hospital has selected UpToDate as its evidence-based clinical decision support system. The hospital represents the first UpToDate client in Indonesia.
Bali Royal Hospital opened its doors in 2010 to provide comprehensive medical services to local patients and tourists in the city of Bali and across East Indonesia. The facility selected UpToDate to increase physician adoption of the latest industry best practices across its four centers of excellence - in vitro fertilization, endoscopy, neuroscience and cosmetic surgery - as well as homecare and general medical practice.
Part of WK Health, UpToDate is an evidence-based, physician-authored clinical knowledge system which clinicians trust to make the right point-of-care decisions. UpToDate's more than 5,100 world-renowned physician authors, editors and peer reviewers use a rigorous editorial process to synthesize the most recent medical information into trusted, evidence-based recommendations that are proven to improve patient care and quality.
More than 700,000 clinicians in 158 countries and almost 90 percent of academic medical centers in the US rely on UpToDate, and more than 30 research studies confirm UpToDate's widespread usage and association with improved patient care and hospital performance, including reduced length of stay, adverse complications and mortality.
