NSW Health has bought a statewide licence to use the UpToDate clinical decision support resource from Wolters Kluwer and will integrate it with eHealth NSW’s Clinical Information Access Portal (CIAP) from this month.

UpToDate provides access to medical calculators, drug information and drug interactions, links to full-text medical articles and patient eduction at the point of care. It can also be embedded in electronic medical records such as the Cerner system used in many NSW hospitals.
