A hospital system is incentivized in some ways to get people discharged as soon as possible and ideally with a good outcome. A service like UpToDate is one of the tools that may facilitate that by providing valuable clinical pearls to facilitate decision making. So it's not surprising that UpToDate is largely paid for by large institutions and academic medical centers, and not as much by individual medical providers.
