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 and ClinicalKey for Nursing as they are finalized, and the changes will be posted monthly on the Resource Center.
