Elsevier, a leading provider of evidence-based clinical practice content, research publishing and information analytics, has launched its enhanced clinical decision support solution, ClinicalKey. The solution now features an extensive drug compendium, a new mobile application, and deeper integration into the Electronic Health Record (EHR), making it easier for physicians to access comprehensive and reliable medical content at the point of care, and helping them to diagnose and treat patients more efficiently.
With ClinicalKey, clinicians can now access crucial, trusted summary information within a single source. The new features aim to address the growing pressure on physicians, such as more patients presenting with complex comorbidities, an increasing workload due to a global shortage of healthcare professionals, and a high volume of medical research output. ClinicalKey aims to make the lives of clinicians easier by providing a single, simple location to access the essential information they need at the point of care.
Josh Schoeller, President of Clinical Solutions, Elsevier, said, "Today’s clinicians are facing growing pressure as they provide care, and against this backdrop, we need to support clinicians by making the information they need as accessible as possible. Today’s enhanced ClinicalKey will make the lives of clinicians easier by providing a single, simple location to access the essential information they need at the point of care."
The new features of ClinicalKey were developed with the needs of physicians in mind. Based on the latest findings, physicians spend half of their shift in the EHR, so clinical decision support must be deeply embedded in the EHR system. The enhanced ClinicalKey features EHR integration through SMART on FHIR, enabling clinicians to navigate to ClinicalKey directly within their workflow. With 80% of doctors using mobile devices at work, a modern mobile app is crucial for a point of care solution. The new mobile application allows clinicians to easily access the information they need, when they need it.
ClinicalKey is a global leader in reference use cases, providing access to market-leading, evidence-based content. The enhanced ClinicalKey provides physicians with an even more comprehensive solution, enabling them to access both comprehensive medical evidence and quick clinical answers.
