UpToDate® for Patients search widget

Add the UpToDate® for Patients search widget to your site and enable your patients and their families to find current, in-depth and unbiased information that will help them:

  • learn more about a medical condition
  • better understand management and treatment options
  • share in the medical decision making process with their health care providers

The information your patients will find through our search widget is considered "Beyond the Basics". It is best suited for patients who already have a basic understanding of their condition or disease and are looking for more in-depth information. These articles are 5-10 pages long, are written at a high school reading level and include some medical terms.

How the widget works:

A widget is an application that displays content directly on your web page. You can embed our widget in your practice or hospital website, personalized home page, blog and other sites. Once you've added the widget, no technical maintenance is required.

When one of your website visitors does a search using the widget, they will be brought to a list of relevant search results on the UpToDate site. They will first see any relevant Patient Information we have on their search query, followed by any relevant professional-level information. UpToDate's Patient Information is free to the public. Our professional-level information is available only by subscription.



If you are seeing this, you have attempted to link to the UpToDate widget but are experiencing a problem. Please visit UpToDate for more information.
