What Division physicians are saying about UpToDate
Three Divisions of Family Practice members talk about the benefits of using UpToDate.
More than 30 division physicians have provided unpaid written and video testimonials to share their stories about how UpToDate helps them make better decisions and improves patient care. The above video can be embedded or link to from your website and posted on social media. Note that these physician testimonials were provided in response to a request from UpToDate to their registered DoFP users. In keeping with UpToDate’s policies as a provider of unbiased evidence-based information, no financial compensation was offered.
A member resource
An increasing number of physicians are using online tools to help them make clinical decisions at the point of care. Many local division websites include “resource” tabs where UpToDate can be included as a member resource with a live link to the Divisions UpToDate information page.
An easy-to-read infographic provides an overview of UpToDate’s features and content.
Because online point-of-care tools are constantly evolving, not all physicians are familiar with product names. The following text can be used to describe UpToDate:
