The following are suggested sections for Healthcarepedia topic entries.

  • Title
  • Question - rephrase the title in the form of a question, e.g. What is X? What does YYY stand for?
  • Definition - define question in a succinct, clear sentence.
    • Suggest creating definitions without long exhaustive lists of defining features
    • Where possible, reference adjoining concepts and link internally to them
    • Provide definitions that would be broadly correct without emphasizing exceptions or minor nuances
  • Current context for patients and consumers
    • When possible present the appropriate context for a patient/consumer
  • Metrics and Value
  • Data sources
  • Major policies
  • Perspectives
  • Related terms and concepts
  • Relevant questions
  • Origin and history
