STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the availability of a new version of ClinicalKey designed for individual clinicians. ClinicalKey, Elsevier's clinical insight engine, now provides quick access to highly targeted content for physicians in 41 specialties, drawing on evidence-based information from more than 900 textbooks and 500 medical journals.
Launched in April for institutions, ClinicalKey claims to provide the most current clinically relevant evidence-based answers, as well as expert commentary, MEDLINE abstracts and select third-party journals.
The new, individual version of ClinicalKey offers specialised content from some of Elsevier's most popular journals, including The Lancet, Gastroenterology, Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Mayo Clinic Proceedings; as well as Elsevier-published books, including Braunwald's Heart Disease, Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics, and Mandell, Douglas and Bennett's Principles and Practice of Infectious Disease, among others.
ClinicalKey provides faster, smarter access to the relevant online clinical answers physicians seek. After conducting market research with more than 2,000 physicians, Elsevier designed ClinicalKey to meet the three key search requirements those physicians demanded.
ClinicalKey includes answers based on the largest collection of clinical resources in one place online, representing every medical and surgical specialty and information at all levels, from expert opinion to primary data. Resources include textbooks, journals, monographs, videos and images.
ClinicalKey provides access to the latest peer-reviewed and evidence-based information available from Elsevier, the world's leading provider of science and health information.
ClinicalKey is powered by Elsevier's Smart Content, tagged with EMMeT (Elsevier Merged Medical Taxonomy), which enables ClinicalKey to understand clinical terms and thus discover medical content that is the most relevant, plus find related content that would be missed by other search engines. Elsevier's Smart Content has been designed to understand the vast number of relationships between clinical concepts. By organising these relationships in a hierarchical manner, it guarantees that ClinicalKey provides specific, targeted results to physicians' questions.
Smart Content allows clinicians to filter search results by clinically meaningful subcategories (content type, specialty, and by relevant clinical categories like treatment and diagnosis). Specialty-specific tools enable physicians to quickly go from topic overview to in-depth specialty information to meet clinical challenges.
