Consequently, review sentiment available publicly often reflects UpToDate in general rather than Educate’s implementation, content, or analytics.
KLAS is a widely referenced source for provider-validated HIT vendor performance. Public KLAS pages provide limited detail without login; Wolters Kluwer and KLAS both indicate that UpToDate patient education solutions receive positive customer feedback.
Vendor-released materials include KLAS-quoted customer comments indicating patient satisfaction with videos and improved knowledge transfer. Example verbatim (as quoted in vendor materials): "The system has been a great piece to share with patients so that they can absorb information at their own time…" (attributed to a healthcare organization manager).
Caution: KLAS verbatim comments reproduced in vendor materials can be selective; access to the full KLAS research or direct references is recommended for a more complete view.

KLAS user comments cited in Wolters Kluwer materials include statements such as:
Critical evaluation: these qualitative outcomes are informative but may not be directly auditable from public materials. Procurement teams should request quantitative measures (e.g., comprehension scores, reduced cancellation rates, reduced call volume, HCAHPS changes) and assess whether documented improvements replicate in their environment.
