The library of Hospital de Fuenlabrada subscribed UpToDate in June of 2004 (on site license, with no limit set on the number of simultaneous users). After more than one year of experience, the results of usage are presented, not only quantitatively but also qualitatively, for this main tool that provides support to the hospital's doctors in searching clinical information. UTD saves time and improves the attention given to patients thanks to its fast access and user-friendly interface. It also helps the physicians to keep up to date and they have a high degree of confidence in it. More training is needed in order for users to take greater advantage of the features offered by UTD. A subscription to the online version is recommended for hospital libraries, since it allows doctors to consult it from their offices.
