Positive patient outcomes

Across Elsevier ’ s Clinical Solutions division , visionary group RELX has supported the company ’ s development of patient-centred tools and aims to further drive its healthcare vision for the future . “ RELX is a source of inspiration , and a vision for Elsevier to follow ,” observes Toledo .
Additionally , with the rise of technology companies entering the healthcare space , Toledo expresses optimism of the benefits which this will deliver .
“ Products such as the Apple Watch , which encourages you to walk 10,000 steps per day , is something positive . When this connects to a healthcare system , we can provide real information about a patient direct to the hospital . This helps the hospital to gain increased insight and an understanding of the patient as a whole .”
Elsevier ’ s focus on improving clinical outcomes through evidencebased care is therefore clear to see . The company will continue to innovate and develop patient-focused products and services to enhance the quality of care and deliver patient outcomes at each and every turn .
