| UpToDate Selected as Tool for All Primary and Specialty Health Care in Norway |
WALTHAM, Mass. -- UpToDate, a part of Wolters Kluwer Health, has been selected as a point-of-care reference tool by Helsebiblioteket (The Norwegian Electronic Health Library). Helsebiblioteket provides health personnel with free online access to useful and trustworthy knowledge resources -- journals, databases, summarized evidence, guidelines and other tools -- in order to help raise the quality of health services in Norway.
UpToDate, which is used by over 360,000 clinicians worldwide, is committed to improving health outcomes by providing evidence-based, physician-authored clinical information at the point of care. UpToDate's content includes treatment recommendations based on the best medical evidence. Created by more than 4,000 editors, authors and peer reviewers from leading medical institutions, UpToDate monitors over 430 journals, guidelines published by major and international societies, and other resources to ensure that the most recent findings are incorporated into the content.
UpToDate's commitment to global health has also included a partnership with the Global Health Delivery Project to provide subscriptions to clinicians working with underserved populations outside the US. Most recently this has included making complimentary subscriptions available to clinicians providing care in Haiti. UpToDate has also worked with Partners in Health to evaluate the utility of the program in public hospitals in Rwanda, Malawi and South Africa.

Quote, attributed to Kjell Tjensvoll, Consortium Manager, Helsebiblioteket
''After thoroughly evaluating several point-of-care reference tools, we chose UpToDate based on its evidence-based, peer-reviewed content and organized, searchable format. We believe having access to UpToDate will significantly enhance our clinicians' ability to make sound patient management decisions based on the best available evidence.''
