What are Clinical Overviews?

Clinical Overviews are easy-to-scan, clinically focused medical topic summaries designed to match the clinician workflow. They will replace the most frequently searched and used First Consult topics on ClinicalKey, and they have been added as a new content type on ClinicalKey for Nursing.

Clinical Overviews will be both browseable and searchable:

• ClinicalKey: Select the "First Consult/Clinical Overviews" ("FC & CO") content type. The Clinical Overviews will appear alongside First Consult content.
• ClinicalKey for Nursing: Select the "Clinical Overviews" ("Clin. Overviews") content type.

The Clinical Overviews sections include the following:

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

Elsevier's Point of Care Editorial team develops 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 and ClinicalKey for Nursing as they are finalized, and the changes will be posted monthly on the Resource Center.
