Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a College of Pharmacy (Pharm.D Program) we need to provide students, faculty and preceptors with the latest in medical and pharmacy data. Our whole organization uses this tool and it provides a fingertip resource and guides for patient care, teaching in the classroom and experiential training (clinical clerkships).

Pros

  • Identify new clinical data for both procedures and drug use
  • Identify approved and unapproved uses of medications
  • Provides detail on new medications and their role in therapy

Cons

  • The app is sometimes a bit hard to use

Likelihood to Recommend

  • On patient rounds (working with the medical team and providing them updates on various therapies
  • Answering drug information questions (MDs questions that may need further review and response)
  • Updating lecture material (ensuring upToDate data)
  • Patient education utility (ensuring appropriate and up to date patient information)
  • Not useful for a comprehensive clinical review e.g. writing a paper, but it is not designed for that function

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

UpToDate is used within our company for quick referencing of diagnosis, prognosis, treatments, gold standards, and other relevant information for different medical conditions. I personally use this software to quickly review or update myself on current approaches for treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions. Occasionally, I may find that there is new information on some conditions modifying my treatment plan.

Pros

  • List relevant information on various diseases and conditions.
  • Summarize pertinent information.
  • Easy navigation across information and subjects.

Cons

  • User-interface could be smoother.
  • Include more conditions and diseases.
  • Include more alternative treatment methods.

Likelihood to Recommend

UpToDate is extremely well suited for quick information. I find the software to be extremely helpful for a quick recap on a condition or disease. If I'm interested in discovering if evidence-based research supports a new treatment or a different provider for a better outcome, I can quickly and efficiently find this information.
