Cookie preferences should be viewed and set by the user. Wolters Kluwer gathers individual user鈥檚 web activity by tracking web pages users visit just before UTD, and those they visit after leaving UTD. This information is linked to individuals and is not anonymized.

Registration on the UpToDate platform is not mandatory. It is NOT NECESSARY to create an account unless a user wishes to earn CME credits through UTD usage.

Authentication is complete after a user logs in with BCM credentials and 鈥溤谙吆诹厦赔 is visible in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.

  • During the registration process, click the 鈥渟ign in鈥 link on the registration page to sign in with existing UpToDate account username & password
  • Completing this step will auto-merge the existing account into a new SSO UpToDate account. This is the PREFERERED METHOD for merging accounts.
  • This means the old UpToDate username (assuming it's not your BCM e-mail address) will become irrelevant and new username will be your BCM e-mail address.

User completed first time SSO process, a new account was created but users already had an existing account and did not complete the auto-merge step during registration, follow directions to manually merge accounts:

  • Log in to UpToDate through SSO
  • Click 鈥淢y Account鈥 and then 鈥淢erge Accounts鈥 []
  • User will be prompted to log-in with their original account (using old username/password) to merge accounts.
  • Complete all the fields on the registration form to create a brand-new SSO account.

There are certain situations when account merge may not work or produces an error, for example:

  • Non-matching last names: If the user鈥檚 last name on the two accounts attempting to merge does not match, it will produce an error.
  • Please contact to assist in updating the name on the account, or other merge account questions.
