Health content editorial policy

Our health library is intended to help patients prepare informed questions for their healthcare appointments. Content should be clear, respectful, evidence-aware, and free from guaranteed outcomes.

Authorship and review

Each article identifies its author. Clinical statements should be checked by a qualified medical professional before publication or substantive revision. Publication and update dates are displayed when available.

Sources and limitations

Where an article discusses clinical guidance, supporting references should favor recognized medical organizations, professional guidelines, and peer-reviewed research. Patient education does not replace personalized medical advice.

Corrections

Material factual corrections should be made promptly and the article's update date revised. Promotional claims, statistics, prices, and treatment outcomes should not be published without current verification.

AI-assisted drafting

Automated tools may assist with structure or language, but they must not independently publish medical advice. A responsible human editor must review accuracy, tone, privacy, and supporting evidence.
