Clinical solutions
With a keen focus on the entire patient journey , Elsevier has developed clinical solutions within four core areas : prevention , diagnosis , treatment and homecare .
“ When we talk about prevention , we have one platform called First Consult . This is a mobile app , where you can type in your symptoms and this connects to a patient ’ s EHR in the hospital ,” comments Toledo . “ The app then provides instructions and advice , and also advises whether a doctor ’ s appointment is needed .
“ Another clinical solution that we have for prevention is our website , Health Library . This is where the hospital can provide instructions for wellness . It also helps the hospital remain connected to the patient , even when the patient is not situated in the hospital .”
