I can give a nice example of how some of UpToDate’s information is compiled, and why its so high quality.
I built a new diagnostic test that replaced and upgraded upon one that had previously been discontinued. After building it a clinician who is a top expert on that specific diagnostic reached out since he was responsible for the relevant up to date page. We had a knowledgeable discussion and they gained a full understanding of the diagnostic I had built. After that they wrote up a new and high quality UpToDate piece describing the new diagnostic and its clinical usefulness. Overall it felt like a very effective process, and one that happened pretty early on in the life cycle of the new product.
