"With the shift in healthcare to digitalization, CDSS combines emerging Big Data and artificial intelligence technologies for improved clinical assessments. As a leader in the CDSS market, Elsevier knows the worth of extensive information, but the company also understands that the information must be easily accessible to optimize its value in diagnostic decisions," states Frost & Sullivan's Divyaa Ravishankar, Industry Principal. "Elsevier designed its solutions to push relevant and easily searchable data, ensuring physicians are not overburdened with non-relevant information."
Elsevier's platform content is available in nine languages-Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, German, French, and Japanese-facilitating access for global users.

They have expert teams working to guarantee the reference material is the most up-to-date available, in addition to providing a field service team to help new customers use the platform efficiently for improved clinical utility," said Ravishankar.
