Up to Date is a clinical resource specifically created to assist with diagnosis and treatment.
It is often referred to as a Point of Care tool as it provides synthesized topic reviews that cover all of the major aspects of a particular condition, including symptoms, tests and diagnosis, and treatment.
What's Included
The What's New tab highlights important updates to topics and the Practice Changing Updates specific new recommendations and/or updates that we anticipate may change usual clinical practice.

As part of Cabrini's subscription to UTD partial access to Lexicomp is available.
Lexicomp is a A Drug-Drug, Drug-Herb, and Herb-Herb analysis tool.
Click on the Drug Interactions tab on the navigation bar in UpToDate.
Users can type two or more drugs to get an interaction rating, to alert if there is a risk to the patient by taking a combination of certain drugs and medications.
As an example a patient who has Crohn's disease is going to be treated with the drug infliximab.
The patient has told you that they are taking the complimentary drug St john's Wort for depression.
Type in the first drug in Lexicomp St John's Wort, Type in the second drug infliximab
Click on the Analyze button and it brings back the rating of No interactions of Risk Level A or greater identified.
However please note Lexicomp does not address chemical compatibility related to I.V. drug preparation or administration.
Please refer to the AIDH or MIMS for this type of information.
