Update Software; Delivering information for healthcare decision making Search this site

   Who we are

Background
Update Software is probably best known for having created and published The Cochrane Library, the WHO Reproductive Health Library, and the United Kingdom's National Research Register. Although these publications remain important to us, we are involved in a variety of other projects as well. These range from assembling specialist publications such as the Renal Health Library, to implementing online authoring and reporting systems, to creating decision support systems designed to reduce medical errors.

Our approach
We work mainly in partnership with other groups, both small and large, to assemble and disseminate high-quality information. In developing The Cochrane Library, for example, we worked with the 90+ groups associated with the Cochrane Collaboration, and prepared the documents they provided for publication in our own products, as well as those of John Wiley & Sons, Dialog Information Services, Ovid Technologies, BIREME and other major publishers. In assembling the National Research Register, Research Findings Register, and DOH Annual Reports, we work with the Department of Health and over 350 organisations from the National Health Service in England, Scotland and Wales.
