www.uptodate.com

The UpToDate community includes a faculty of over 4,400 leading physicians, peer reviewers and editors and over 400,000 users. The faculty writes topic reviews that include a synthesis of the literature, the latest evidence, and specific recommendations for patient care. The users provide feedback to the editorial group. This community's combined efforts result in the most trusted, unbiased medical information available. Now patients have access to UpToDate, to learn more about a medical condition, better understand management and treatment options, and have a better dialogue with health care providers.

Each year, almost 700,000 studies are published in roughly 5,000 medical journals. The average practicing physician, much less a patient, cannot possibly keep pace with each new discovery and the changing face of medicine. Uptodate solves that problem by finding the world's leading experts in each medical subspecialty and recruiting them to synthesize the medical literature within their area of expertise. They take the latest findings, and distill them into articles that explain how emerging scientific discoveries should affect the everyday practice of medicine. Uptodate asks them to do this every four months—or more often, if groundbreaking studies are published. UpToDate used to be available only to physicians. UpToDate is unbiased. UptoDate does not accept money from pharmaceutical companies or other advertisers to maintain the editorial independence.
