Medical review policy

When review is required

Content that explains clinical concepts, diagnosis, management, treatment, patient safety or other medically consequential material requires review by an appropriately qualified professional before it is labelled medically reviewed.

Reviewer standard

The reviewer’s identity, relevant role and verified credentials must be available for publication. DailyMLE does not use fictional reviewers, anonymous credential claims or automated review as a substitute for qualified human review.

What reviewers assess

Reviewers assess whether medical statements are accurate, appropriately scoped, current for the stated context and supported where a source is needed. They also flag ambiguity that could teach unsafe or misleading reasoning.

Editorial review remains responsible for readability, structure, links and presentation.

How status appears

A reviewed page names the reviewer and shows the review or modified date. A page without a completed named review must not imply otherwise; its review component displays that status explicitly.

Re-review

Material changes to clinical claims, material source updates or credible correction reports can trigger re-review. The reviewed date changes only when that review has actually occurred.
