Wolters Kluwer Health, a leading global provider of information for healthcare professionals and students, announced today that it has leveraged functionality from its Lexicomp® and UpToDate® solutions to create a comprehensive, embedded patient education offering for hospitals. The Integrated Patient Education solution allows pharmacists, physicians and nurses to easily access patient education from within applications they use most often, minimizing disruptions to daily workflow, improving efficiency and enhancing patient care.
