UpToDate® Anywhere is now available for all physicians in the province and for all staff in organizations funded by Manitoba Health.
Doctors Manitoba, Manitoba Health, the University of Manitoba, Regional Health Authorities, Diagnostic Services Manitoba (DSM), and CancerCare Manitoba worked together to establish and fund a provincial contract with Up to Date that provides health care providers in Manitoba with access to UpToDate through any desktop or mobile device. This is the first clinical decision support tool to be included in what will become a Manitoba “virtual health library” that aims to provide equitable access to information resources for all healthcare providers in the province.
UpToDate is an electronic Clinical Decision Support used by clinicians and non-clinicians in the delivery of healthcare. It includes more than 10,500 topics covering general internal medicine and more than 20 specialities; a select drug database and drug interaction tool (in partnership with Lexicomp®); more than 1,500 patient education topics; more than 28,000 graphics; links to more than 400,000 references; and a number of medical calculators.
