Wolters Kluwer Health is collaborating with Epic to provide an integrated set of clinical content solutions—UpToDate Lexidrug, Medi‑Span, and UpToDate Patient Education—to eligible healthcare organizations across the United States. The offering is designed to support rural hospitals, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), state hospitals, tribal healthcare organizations, ambulatory practices, and small health systems by enabling streamlined access to trusted drug information, clinical decision support, and patient education resources directly within Epic workflows.
Healthcare institutions serving rural and underserved populations often face financial and operational barriers to accessing evidence‑based resources. Through this collaboration, Epic customers can adopt these solutions with simplified procurement, implementation, and support models. The approach is intended to reduce administrative complexity, accelerate onboarding, and consolidate costs while supporting medication safety, clinical drug decisions, and patient engagement.
The integrated solutions have been validated within Epic environments, allowing healthcare organizations to reduce testing and validation requirements compared to traditional standalone implementations. The collaboration aims to shorten implementation timelines and lessen demands on internal IT and clinical informatics teams, while ensuring that providers serving underserved populations have access to the same evidence‑based tools available across the broader healthcare ecosystem.
