Healthcare information provider Wolters Kluwer Health has announced the Latin American launch of UpToDate® Anywhere and its deployment by Unimed Vale do Caí. UpToDate Anywhere enables hospitals and healthcare organisations to provide clinicians with mobile access to UpToDate®, the acclaimed evidence-based clinical decision support resource.
Located in Montenegro, Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil, Unimed Vale do Caí (UVC) is a 110-bed private hospital with more than 150 clinicians and 560 specialised medical professionals who rely on UpToDate for trusted and current clinical answers. UVC maintains its level of excellence by providing clinicians with access to the best in technology and latest equipment.
UpToDate Anywhere users at UVC and other Latin American healthcare organisations benefit in particular from Search in Your Own Language, a customisable suite of local-language search and navigation tools that enables clinicians to research clinical questions in Spanish or Portuguese. By leveraging an advanced, patent-pending translation system for search terms in nine languages, the intuitive auto-complete feature of UpToDate search predicts words or phrases in a clinician's native language to deliver faster results.
With the Latin American launch of UpToDate Anywhere comes the introduction of more than 1,000 Spanish-language patient education topics that doctors can email, print or review with their patients. Easy-to-understand, accurate and comprehensive information and images give doctors the tools to educate patients on their condition so they can make informed choices about their healthcare.
