Abridge is deepening its partnership with Wolters Kluwer to embed UpToDate’s evidence-based clinical decision support directly into clinician workflows.
Announced Oct. 20, the integration aims to deliver real-time insights and prompts within documentation processes, giving clinicians contextual guidance based on both the patient conversation and the medical chart.
As part of the effort, Abridge is incorporating UpToDate content into its ambient AI clinical documentation, where many care decisions occur. The goal is to make clinical guidance that reflects national standards, as well as local protocols and site-specific guidelines, more accessible at the point of care.
“Integrating UpToDate’s trusted clinical intelligence directly into clinical workflows is central to our mission of supporting clinicians at the point of care,” Yaw Fellin, senior vice president and general manager of clinical decision support and provider services at Wolters Kluwer Health, said in the news release. “Our partnership with Abridge is a key part of that strategy — delivering reliable, evidence-based clinical insights within the documentation process to help health systems provide efficient and high-quality care.”
More than 200 health systems have partnered with Abridge for ambient AI for clinical documentation. The expanded collaboration with Wolters Kluwer builds on an initial partnership announced in October 2024 and is already integrated into workflows at health systems like Sacramento, Calif.-based Sutter Health.
“We’re always looking for ways to cut down on clicks and help our clinicians spend more time with patients. Abridge and UpToDate are two platforms our teams already use and trust,” Veena Jones, MD, CMIO at Sutter Health, said in the release. “We’re excited about this integration and the possibility of further streamlining our workflow to benefit both clinicians and patients.”
Abridge is previewing the newly integrated capabilities at HLTH 2025 in Las Vegas.
