WALTHAM, Mass. — Wolters Kluwer Health has announced a collaboration with Microsoft to integrate its UpToDate clinical decision support platform into several Microsoft productivity and AI tools, allowing clinicians to access evidence-based medical guidance directly within their daily workflows.
The integration will bring UpToDate into Microsoft Dragon Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Microsoft Teams, enabling clinicians and care teams to retrieve trusted clinical intelligence while documenting patient information, communicating with colleagues, and collaborating across healthcare organizations.
“This collaboration represents an important milestone for clinicians and healthcare organizations by delivering reliable and effective clinical information at the point of care,” said Yaw Fellin, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Clinical Decision Support and Provider Solutions, Wolters Kluwer Health. “UpToDate is the trusted, clinical-grade intelligence layer that Microsoft and health systems can depend on to power integrated, workflow-embedded generative AI. By bringing UpToDate into Dragon Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Teams, we are strengthening clinical decision-making and supporting healthcare organizations as they modernize workflows and advance their AI strategies.”
The integration will be enabled through the healthcare agent service in Copilot Studio, allowing clinicians to access real-time, contextually relevant clinical answers grounded in UpToDate across ambient documentation, generative question-and-answer tools, and enterprise productivity environments. The system is designed to deliver cited, clinically governed information without requiring clinicians to leave their existing workflows.
“We’re proud to partner with Wolters Kluwer to bring UpToDate’s trusted clinical guidance directly into Dragon Copilot for all customers,” said Hadas Bitran, Partner General Manager, Health & Life Sciences at Microsoft. “By enabling the integration of UpToDate into the Dragon Copilot experience, we’re helping clinicians access evidence-based answers in real time—right in the context of their workflow. This collaboration reinforces our commitment to delivering safe, intelligent, relevant and contextual clinical experience that empowers care teams to make informed decisions with confidence.”
UpToDate’s clinical content is developed by more than 7,600 expert clinicians worldwide, including physician editors and peer reviewers who provide evidence-based guidance across a wide range of medical specialties.
According to Wolters Kluwer, the integration will give Dragon Copilot users access to more than 13,000 medical topics from UpToDate, including 10,000 graded clinical recommendations, treatment algorithms, laboratory interpretations, tables, and graphics. It will also include medication monographs from UpToDate Lexidrug and a broad library of patient education resources.
