The clinical reference search engine provides evidence-based answers, as well as expert commentary, MEDLINE abstracts and select third-party journals.
The engine is powered by Elsevier’s Smart Content, tagged with EMMeT (Elsevier Merged Medical Taxonomy), which enables ClinicalKey to understand clinical terms and thus discover the most relevant medical content.
Intermountain Healthcare information services medical director Dr Chris Wood said the hospital selected ClinicalKey as a clinical reference solution for its extensive search and reference capabilities and its deep content, from journal articles and textbooks to procedure videos and drug information.
