Clarification on the Clinical Key Mobile App

There has been some confusion about  getting the new Clinical Key App.

BEFORE you download the app, you FIRST need to set up a Clinical Key Personal Account and activate remote access.

In other words, the vendor needs to know that you are a Ministry Person, and therefore entitled to this app.  Access comes with our Library subscription, and is not free to just anyone.  Though it will be free to you as a Ministry employee. 

Below, you’ll find a tutorial to lead you through that process, with a link to the revised article about getting the Clinical Key App.

2. Using the email address associated with your institution (ie, your work email : such as name@affinityhealth.org OR name@ministryhealth.org), fill in the required information on the registration page.  
Please note : Free emails like gmail, yahoo, and hotmail will not be accepted for remote access.  

3. Click Register when finished. ClinicalKey will display an activation message and send a confirmation email.

4. In the Confirmation email, click the link to verify your personal account for Clinical Key.

Activate Remote Access :

With Remote Access, you'll be able to access Clinical Key from home, an internet café, or anywhere you have internet access.

A. To activate remote access, click Login at the top of ClinicalKey :

B. From the Login page, click the link under Remote Access Activation.
