Elsevier, the information analytics business specialising in science and health, has announced an agreement with the Ministry of Health (MoH) of the Republic of Kazakhstan to implement its ClinicalKey reference solution in care settings across the nation. The deal will enable 200 points of access to Elsevier's database as of 2018.
The initiative was launched by Kazakhstan's Ministry of Health at the Kazakhstan Evidence-Based Medicine Executive Forum in Astana which saw the Republican Center for Health Development, heads of healthcare organizations, and the medical community unite in a forum to discuss the opportunities for innovation in Kazakhstan's healthcare system.
Central to decision of introducing the ClinicalKey reference tool is a goal of the MoH to decrease variability in care and improve clinical outcomes, with the long-term objective of increasing life expectancy in Kazakhstan.
The implementation of ClinicalKey will provide doctors across Kazakhstan access to an international database of evidence-based, credible and current clinical information, also extending to remote areas. The focus will be to encourage best practice amongst medical students and researchers to improve clinical practice.
ClinicalKey, a clinical search engine, provides evidence-based clinical answers drawn from the single largest body of clinical content available, including over 600 journals, mare than 1,100 books, drug information, guidelines, patient education and Medline. The Smart Search enables ClinicalKey to understand clinical terms and thus discover the most relevant medical content and find related content often missed by other search engines. ClinicalKey is optimised for any mobile device, making it more convenient to search and validate on-the-go.
