Editorial standards
Editorial Policy
We prioritize official sources for center locations, patient lodging programs and travel information. Guides state their location scope and when source-dependent information was checked. We distinguish a program, a property, a resource directory and a booking channel. We do not rank treatment quality or determine whether a person is eligible for care or lodging.
Commercial links are labeled. Compensation does not determine center order, inclusion of assistance resources or access to free tools. We do not claim to have visited a property or tested a product unless that work actually occurred. Readers can report an error through our correction page. Material corrections are reviewed promptly and reflected in the affected guide.
Which sources we use
We use the organization that controls the fact: the center for appointment locations, the lodging program for admission rules, the hotel for room features, the booking provider for the offered rate, the regulator for legal requirements and platform documentation for technical details. A search snippet can point to a source, but it does not replace reading the important conditions. When a current web page and an older PDF disagree, we prefer the current page and ask the organization if the conflict remains.
What each kind of claim needs
| Claim | Evidence and treatment |
|---|---|
| Location or campus | An official center source plus an explicit scope label. We never infer a treatment address from an organization's headquarters. |
| Accommodation program | A current official page. Eligibility decisions are pointed back to the program. |
| Hotel amenity or shuttle | A property or center source for the specific destination, with a date. Unconfirmed details are left out or labeled unknown. |
| Price or availability | A provider quote for real dates, room and conditions. We do not publish evergreen nightly rates. |
| Medical or safety statement | We avoid clinical recommendations. If one is essential, it needs qualified clinical review and appropriate evidence before publication. |
| Affiliate entitlement | The accepted account terms, not another publisher's description or our own model. |
| Firsthand review | An actual documented examination. We do not claim visits or testing that never occurred. |
How a page is reviewed
A researcher records each claim with its evidence. An editor writes original, task-focused copy. A checker verifies links, campus and factual statements. An approver signs off the review, and a publisher releases the page. In a small team one person may hold several of these roles, but every published change keeps its checklist and date. Specialized legal and privacy questions go to external reviewers.
Lodging pathways, eligibility statements and shuttle or amenity details are scheduled for review every 30 days; center identity and guides every 90 days. Each guide shows when it was last checked by a person.
Use of AI tools
AI tools may help organize drafts, identify inconsistencies and format data. They may not invent eligibility, rates, amenities, personal experience, author credentials or citations. There is no unattended mass publication, and every AI-assisted factual statement needs the same evidence and review as one written by hand.
Corrections and out-of-date information
A wrong campus, false eligibility statement or broken essential contact route is hidden or corrected as soon as the error is verified. Broken secondary links and cosmetic errors follow. If a page cannot be checked on schedule, it shows a notice that some details need rechecking, and unsupported booking or availability statements are removed.
