Dr. Muralidhar Kanchi, Senior Consultant (India)

What problems were you attempting to solve when you started using ClinicalKey?

I was hunting across multiple references at the bedside without a trustworthy, evidence-based point-of-care solution, which slowed decisions and added cognitive load. As a clinical academician, I also needed one platform combining teaching, curriculum delivery, and research access.

What benefits have you experienced since using ClinicalKey?

ClinicalKey gives me trustworthy, evidence-based answers at the bedside, speeding decisions and cutting cognitive load by combining summaries, full-text references, drug information, guidelines, and multimedia in one platform.

It also helps me build assessments, share readings, and track learner performance for teaching, and gives quick access to journals, textbooks, and MEDLINE abstracts for research.

What is the primary reason you would recommend ClinicalKey?

It supports point-of-care diagnosis, treatment planning, medication review, and staying current with evidence, benefiting trainees and multidisciplinary teams alike.

How do you use ClinicalKey in your workflow?

Mobile access lets me get clinical information during encounters, not after. For teaching, high-resolution images and procedural videos make bedside and classroom teaching more engaging. For research, quick access to journals, textbooks, and guidelines helps me move from question to literature faster, and continuously updated content keeps me current for reviews, lectures, and case discussions.

Is it important in your daily clinical activity to have access to diagnostic support tools?

Yes. It is essential for point-of-care diagnosis support, treatment planning, medication review, and staying current with new evidence.
