Here’s a revised version of the editorial process, adapted for JHealthTips.com:
Our Editorial Process
How we provide trustworthy, accessible, and accurate information
At JHealthTips, we are dedicated to providing you with reliable, actionable, and clear health information that empowers you to take charge of your health and well-being. We follow a carefully crafted Editorial Process to ensure every piece of content we produce meets the highest standards of accuracy, clarity, and usefulness.
Our Editorial Process is the foundation of everything we do at JHealthTips. But what does this process entail? How do we ensure that everything we publish meets our commitment to delivering trustworthy, evidence-based health advice?
Our team of experts creates and refines each article based on four core principles that guide our editorial process. These principles are: (1) building and maintaining trust; (2) upholding high journalistic standards; (3) prioritizing accuracy, empathy, and inclusivity; and (4) consistently monitoring and updating our content. These principles ensure that you always have access to the most timely and reliable health information.
1. Building and Maintaining Trust
Health information is abundant, but often confusing, overwhelming, and sometimes misleading. At JHealthTips, we aim to change that.
We provide content that is trustworthy, evidence-based, clear, understandable, and actionable. We focus on your holistic well-being, helping you connect the dots between health and lifestyle, which we call “whole person health.”
We’re committed to inclusivity and empathy, recognizing that everyone’s health journey is unique. Our content is open, judgment-free, and supportive for all those seeking to improve their health.
2. Upholding High Journalistic Standards
We know you turn to JHealthTips for accurate health information, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our health news and educational content are unbiased, balanced, up-to-date, and supported by research. We approach feature content with empathy, respect, and openness.
Here’s how we ensure our standards are met:
- Careful Selection of Contributors: Our editorial team rigorously selects health experts and contributors based on their subject matter expertise and relevant life experience. We provide ongoing training on research practices and content creation to ensure the highest quality.
- Medical Accuracy: Every piece of health-related content is reviewed for medical accuracy by qualified experts. Our Medical Network consists of healthcare professionals from various specialties who bring diverse expertise and perspectives, including clinical practice and patient advocacy.
- Brand Integrity: We vet all brands mentioned in our content, ensuring their business practices and health claims align with the latest scientific evidence.
- Consumer Drug Information: Our medical editors, working with licensed professionals, provide clear and understandable drug information, focusing on what matters most for our readers.
- Timely News Updates: Our news team stays up-to-date with the latest medical research and health developments to provide you with current, trustworthy health news.
- Content Review: Each article undergoes a rigorous review by our editorial team to ensure clarity, accuracy, quality sourcing, and inclusive language.
3. Prioritizing Accuracy, Empathy, and Inclusivity
We strive to ensure that every piece of content we produce is not only accurate but also accessible to our readers. To achieve this, we rely on a proprietary style guide based on the Associated Press Stylebook, focusing on clarity, empathy, inclusivity, and real-world application.
Our voice is warm, approachable, and respectful. We use conscious language to promote inclusivity and empathy, making sure our stories are free from judgment or bias. We are intentional about removing stigmas, stereotypes, and harmful language, while empowering our readers through thoughtful, supportive content.
We also respect how language evolves, especially in health contexts. We regularly consult with community advocates and stay up-to-date on language trends to ensure that our content reflects the values of compassion and inclusivity.
4. Consistent Monitoring and Updating of Content
Health information is constantly changing. New research emerges, outdated ideas are revised, and medical terminology evolves. At JHealthTips, we continuously monitor and update our content to ensure we’re providing the most accurate and relevant information.
To ensure this, our editorial team works alongside medical experts to keep content up-to-date. We track changes in medical guidelines, clinical practices, and health research to keep our content relevant.
We also implement regular audits and respond to feedback from our readers. Whenever necessary, we update our articles, adding new information, fixing errors, or improving clarity. Every piece of content has a “written on” date, a “medical review” date, and a “fact-checked” date to let you know when it was last reviewed or updated.
Ongoing Commitment to Quality
At JHealthTips, we are committed to delivering the best health information possible. We continuously strive to improve, and we welcome your feedback. If you notice that any of our content is outdated, unclear, or could be improved, we invite you to reach out.
We want you to always feel confident in the health advice you receive from us, and we’re here to support you on your wellness journey every step of the way.
