Globalhealthfinder provides health news, programs and information for consumers. This information is for educational purposes only and is not to be used as a replacement for medical advice from a doctor.
Each member of Globalhealthfinder's editorial staff must disclose all financial and/or other interests that he or she may have in biotech, drug, medical device, or other companies that have a vested interest and or influence in health care. Disclosures must be made to the appropriate supervisor at hiring or when said interest develops. Supervisors will confer with company officers to decide if there is a conflict of interest. If conflict of interest is determined, the staff member will be reassigned or additional steps will be taken to rectify the situation.

Globalhealthfinder's editorial staff is kept separate from all other business aspects. The editorial staff's sole purpose is to produce health information and is not held accountable for financial aspects such as advertising, marketing or sales.

Globalhealthfinder's editorial staff's responsibility is to provide objective and accurate health information. Globalhealthfinder writers must research and name all primary sources and quoted, qualified health experts in health information.

Articles are to be written objectively, with the sole goal of providing consumers with accurate health information.

Globalhealthfinder's editorial staff is to adhere to the highest standards of journalistic integrity at all times. Globalhealthfinder makes no claims of therapeutic benefit, only reporting on federal and professional guidelines and studies published in peer-review journals.

In-House Content

More than 90 percent of our content is produced in-house. Articles are reviewed for clinical accuracy by on-staff M.D.s or sent to off-site experts before being posted. All content is also subjected to an annual review by our medical advisory board. After clinical review, a copy editor reviews it before sending it to the programming team to be published on client sites. Clients have the right to review all content before it is published on their site.

Third Party Content

Globalhealthfinder provides some content from third parties. Globalhealthfinder reviews all third-party content, subjecting them to the same standards for sourcing and clinical accuracy as our own in-house content. If we determine that content does not meet our standards or that of a client's, we request that the author update the content to meet our standards. If the author is unable to do so, and our agreement prevents us from editing the content, we will remove said content from the site until the author does so, or until we find a suitable replacement. All third party content is included in our annual review and must meet our standards during every review.

Author Qualifications

Globalhealthfinder.com only hires experienced writers and editors to prepare material. Globalhealthfinder also employs freelance writers and editors to develop content. Whether full time or freelance, all of our editors and writers have a minimum of five years of professional writing or editing experience in the health care field.

Citations

Our editors and reporters get their stories from a variety of sources: federal health agencies, professional organizations, peer-reviewed medical journals, medical conferences, and interviews with medical experts. Each article includes the source of information, including specific citations from peer-reviewed journals, if referenced.
