Dear Customer,


We value your subscription to UpToDate and want to inform you about changes we are making to the navigation in UpToDate online.


In order to protect our intellectual property and avoid copyright violations on a massive scale, we will be making some changes to our Table of Contents section starting Monday, December 5th. The Table of Contents will still appear, but some of the topic reviews within the Table of Contents will no longer be live links. This change will not affect the usability of UpToDate, as all of our content is still easily accessible via the main search box.


The following are a few search tips that will help you view topic reviews previously accessible through the Table of Contents. We encourage you to share these tips with your UpToDate users.


Patient Information:
To view our patient information handouts type in the words "patient info" and you will see all of the patient information topics available. To narrow your search, use the "narrow search results" button and type in the disease or condition. All of our patient information is also freely available to patients at www.patients.uptodate.com.


Drug Information:
To view information on a medication, type in the name of the medication, either brand name or generic in the main search box. For each medication you will see a number of drug information topics including adult information, pediatric information, and patient level information. UpToDate also offers international, as well as natural drug information.


Please let me know if you have any questions about these changes. Thank you for your subscription to UpToDate.


Regards,


Greg D'Andrea
