Empowering clinical decision-making: The impact of ClinicalKey AI on healthcare professionals

In the healthcare industry, artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to play a pivotal role in supporting physicians in various tasks, ranging from administrative notetaking to enhancing patient engagement. Additional potential of AI lies in its ability to support clinicians in the decision-making process and to enhance confidence in those decisions.  

While AI technologies have shown promise in boosting operational efficiency, their integration into clinical workflows has yet to fully address the challenges faced by clinicians in decision-making. 

The launch of tools like ClinicalKey AI marks a significant milestone of AI in healthcare, empowering physicians and advance practice providers to leverage a conversational search engine for quick access to trusted clinical knowledge. Through survey and user interviews, Elsevier has gathered valuable feedback on the usability, responsiveness, and time-savings benefits offered by ClinicalKey AI.*
