Elsevier Health releases ClinicalKey AI support tool for clinicians
Elsevier Health is offering ClinicalKey AI, a clinical decision support tool that combines the latest medical content with generative artificial intelligence to help clinicians at the point of care. ClinicalKey AI has been launched in partnership with OpenEvidence, a company specializing in AI for medicine.
There is a current need for access to reliable, evidence-based medical information, especially when considering the volume of complex cases that clinicians are required to manage daily. In addition, staffing challenges are placing increasing demands on clinicians’ time, further amplifying the need for quick and secure access to accurate, trusted information at the point of care.
ClinicalKey AI addresses this challenge by leveraging a personalized conversational search interface to help clinicians find accurate, succinct, clinical information drawing from a body of medical information available to date. The solution has been designed to provide curated content and constantly refreshed evidence-based research to help clinicians in offering optimal patient experiences whether in a small clinic or a large hospital.

Elsevier Health and OpenEvidence collaborated with Cone Health and the University of New Mexico on the development of ClinicalKey AI, which was also used by more than 30,000 physicians across the United States.
“At the heart of our mission is the patient, and we are committed to providing physicians with the tools they need to make informed decisions," said Jeetu Nanda, chief medical information officer at Cone Health. “Our work with Elsevier Health has allowed us to deliver a superior user experience, combining trusted medical content with advanced AI technology through ClinicalKey AI. The positive feedback we've received from clinicians currently using ClinicalKey AI has been tremendous, and we are excited to roll out this powerful tool across our entire healthcare system."

"Generative AI isn't about replacing a doctor's training, intuition or expertise, it's about amplifying it. It is having the world's medical library at your fingertips, instantly summarizing massive amounts of research and literature at the bedside," said Dusadee Sarangarm, chief medical information officer at the University of New Mexico Health.
