Editorial & Content Policy

Every knowledge-base entry carries a named author. Entries touching clinical practice also carry a named medical reviewer; author and reviewer are separate roles.

Some drafts are AI-assisted. We say so on the entry. AI-assisted drafts are not published as expert-verified until a named human reviewer has checked them — until then they show an “awaiting expert review” note.

Entries cite authoritative sources — standards bodies (HL7, SNOMED International, WHO, Regenstrief), regulators, and peer-reviewed literature. Citations link to the original.

Entries show a last-reviewed date. Fast-moving topics (regulations, standard versions) are re-checked on a regular cadence. Readers can flag an entry as outdated; those flags feed our review queue.

All clinical examples use synthetic data — invented names, IDs and scenarios. No real patient information appears anywhere on the platform.
