Point of care tools are the research and reference resources that a clinician can utilise immediately at the point-of-care with a patient. They are usually easy to use and contain quality-assessed information. Most of the evidence-based point of care tools include levels of evidence, rating scales or grade recommendations as well as citations back to the original research studies, systematic reviews, or guidelines.
UpToDate is an evidence-based, physician-authored clinical decision support resource which clinicians trust to make the right point-of-care decisions. It is continuously updated and includes a collection of medical and patient information, access to drug monographs and drug-to-drug, drug-to-herb, & herb-to-herb interactions information, and medical calculators.
