Healthcare information provider Wolters Kluwer Health, US, has announced the launch of Search in Your Own Language, a suite of local-language search and navigation capabilities for UpToDate, an evidence-based, clinical decision support resource. Search in Your Own Language enables clinicians and healthcare enterprises around the world to improve patient care with tools to research clinical questions more quickly and accurately in their native language.
Search in Your Own Language from UpToDate streamlines searching for clinical information and graded recommendations by leveraging an advanced, patent-pending translation system for search terms in Simplified and Traditional Chinese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish (in addition to existing English and Japanese search capabilities). Plus, the auto-complete feature of UpToDate search also predicts words or phrases in a clinician's native language.
To improve ease-of-use overall, the UpToDate navigation can be customised to default to a user's local language. Clinicians can also rate translations of search terms and submit suggestions for improvements.
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.
