Wolters Kluwer Health has announced the expansion of its partnership with Sírio-Libanês Hospital, an international health center in São Paulo, Brazil. The institution, which has relied on Wolters Kluwer's UpToDate® clinical decision support since 2010, recently adopted Lexicomp® Online drug reference and Medi-Span® embedded drug data. With these combined resources, Sírio-Libanês becomes the first institution in Brazil to implement the Advanced Clinical Decision Support (ACDS) solution. Hospital leaders believe the combined ACDS resources are essential to improving clinical effectiveness, particularly with regard to reduced medication errors and patient safety overall.
Sírio-Libanês Hospital is recognised for its 95-year history of excellence and leadership, as well as its pioneering role in healthcare and medical research in Brazil. The hospital cares for thousands of patients annually at its complex in São Paulo’s Bela Vista district and three additional locations: a diagnostic center and ambulatory hospital in Itaim Bibi; a multidisciplinary clinic in Jardins; and an oncology center in Brasília.
The steady, sustained growth of UpToDate usage by the clinical staff served as one of the key reasons for choosing to deploy ACDS at Sírio-Libanês Hospital.
