Overall Satisfaction with UpToDate

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
  • Offering a resource for patient care is a positive return on investment
  • An UpToDate drug resource is a positive return on investment
  • An UpToDate clinical disease resource is a positive return on investment
UpToDate offers a much more comprehensive tool when compared with Epocrates. Although both provide good drug references UpToDate goes far beyond the Epocrates tool in terms of clinical disease diagnostic data.

Would you buy UpToDate again?

Yes

  • 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
