STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that it presented ClinicalKey, which claims to be the world’s first ‘clinical insight engine’, at the Health In4matics Expo.
Powered by Smart Content, which maps the largest collection of clinical resources, covering every medical and surgical specialty, to a proprietary medical taxonomy, ClinicalKey aims to provide more clinically relevant answers than conventional search engines, saving doctors’ time and informing decisions that can improve outcomes.
ClinicalKey initially launched in April this year, with an institutionally focused product whose primary users will be clinicians at hospitals, healthcare systems and medical schools. Beginning in Q3 2012, Elsevier will market an individual clinician version.
According to Jim Donohue, Elsevier’s Managing Director, Global Clinical Reference, ClinicalKey is part of Elsevier’s continuing efforts to help clinicians improve quality and efficiency through the smarter use of healthcare information.
