Clinical Key Overviews

Clinical Key :  What are Clinical Overviews?

by Michele Matucheski, MLS, AHIP - Librarian

Clinical Overviews provide a clinically focused summary of a topic. These are very similar to UptoDate topics.  Clinical Overviews include 'key points', 'pitfalls' and 'urgent action' (where applicable) to match the clinician workflow. Clinical overviews can be searched and browsed.

Ascension Wisconsin Physicians, Providers, and Associates have access to Clinical Key statewide through Ascension Library Services. 

See the Clinical Key Search Tips page for more info and tutorials for using Clinical Key effectively and efficiently. 

How :

To search or browse Clinical Overviews in Clinical Key, 

choose the 'First/Consult/Clinical Overviews' content type:

The Clinical Overviews sections include the following:

• Synopsis
• Terminology
• Diagnosis
• Treatment
• Complications and Prognosis
• Screening and Prevention
• Images
• References

See a Clinical Review in action : Chronic Low Back Pain

Elsevier's Point of Care Editorial team develop Clinical Overviews through a process that includes review and revision by a medical editor; peer reviews performed by subject matter experts; a production review to ensure consistency in style, grammar, and punctuation; and a final evaluation by the editor-in-chief.   After the initial release, new Clinical Overviews will be posted to ClinicalKey as they are finalized, and the changes will be posted monthly on the Resource Center.
