Fast access to trusted answers at the point of need 

Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, has launched a ClinicalKey mobile app that enables rapid access to evidence-based, peer reviewed clinical information via a mobile device. Elsevier designed the mobile app to allow users to select access to ClinicalKey or ClinicalKey for Nursing. The new app is available in Android and iOS formats for mobile phone and tablet.

Developed to meet the needs of clinicians who are increasingly using mobile devices throughout their work day, the ClinicalKey app provides mobile access to answers from the largest collection of clinical resources, covering every medical, surgical and nursing* specialty. Clinicians can enhance their ability to improve speed to accurate diagnosis and treatment in order to improve patient outcomes and lower the cost of care.

"When treating patients, clinicians need quick answers based on the latest or most detailed information available to provide the best possible care and achieve the most positive outcomes. The ClinicalKey mobile app accelerates the decision-making process by providing access to timely, accurate, evidence-based information for clinical decision-making at clinicians' fingertips," said Dr. Peter Edelstein, Chief Medical Officer, Elsevier Clinical Solutions. "Unlike other clinical apps available today, the ClinicalKey mobile app provides clinicians with access to a greater breadth of content and a broader range of specialties, whenever and wherever they need clinical information."

Among the features of ClinicalKey mobile app:

• Intuitive search, including keyword search with filtering, auto suggest and search history;
• Access to full-text books, full-text journals, guidelines, images, videos and more;
• Ability to bookmark and save items, synced with web application;
