Editorial Policy

How we deliver dependable, accessible, and precise information

At TheEMTSpot.org, we are dedicated to offering dependable, accessible, and precise information so our readers can effectively manage their blood pressure. We follow a thorough editorial process to assure we’re delivering the most accurate and up-to-date content.

Our editorial process is the core of our operations. It allows us to ensure that every piece of information we publish meets our lofty standards.

Our team crafts and modifies all content based on the four tenets of our editorial process:

• building and maintaining trust
• adhering to high journalistic principles
• emphasizing precision, empathy, and inclusion
• regularly reviewing and updating content

These tenets guarantee that our readers can always find the timely, science-backed information they need.

1. Building and maintaining trust

Though health information is widely accessible, it can often be puzzling, overwhelming, inaccurate, irrelevant, or inaccessible. Our mission is to rectify this.

We provide content that is reliable, precise, evidence-based, comprehensible, accessible, empathetic, and actionable.

We encompass both the physiological and psychological aspects of hypertension, aiming to enhance overall wellness. We cover a broad spectrum of topics and viewpoints impartially and objectively to arm people with the information they need to efficiently manage their blood pressure.

We acknowledge that every individual’s circumstances, experiences, and preferences differ, hence we advocate for inclusivity and empathy. We are here — without judgment — for everyone aiming to improve their health.

2. Upholding high journalistic principles

Visitors come to TheEMTSpot.org for accurate information, so it is our duty to uphold high journalistic standards. Our news and educational content is unbiased, balanced, timely, actionable, research-backed, honest, and comprehensive. Through our feature content, we share personal perspectives with empathy, honesty, and respect.

Here’s how we ensure we meet these standards:

• We meticulously select contributors and provide regular training: Our in-house editorial team spends time selecting expert writers and contributors. We evaluate our content creators for subject matter proficiency and relevant life experience. We train them on research and sourcing best practices, and provide regular feedback and ongoing coaching.
• Every piece of content is checked by experts: A medical professional or professional fact-checker reviews every piece of content for precision. TheEMTSpot’s network is composed of healthcare professionals with varied expertise from research institutions, professional organizations, and private practices. Their clinical practice, research, and patient advocacy experience provide a valuable perspective to their knowledge of hypertension and related fields.
• All partner brands are thoroughly vetted: Our Brand and Content Integrity team investigates the business practices of partner brands, and evaluates their health claims against the current body of scientific evidence.
• Experienced medical editors create our consumer drug information: A team of experienced medical editors collaborate with PharmD writers and medical reviewers to create our consumer drug information. These experts answer readers’ questions, and present complex pharmaceutical information in a clear manner.
• Our News team keeps up with new information: Our dedicated in-house writers and freelancers produce our news content. The News team delves into the latest hypertension research every day, keeping readers up-to-date on current health trends.
• All content is thoroughly checked to ensure it meets our standards: Our editorial team works on every piece of content before it is published, double-checking to ensure it meets our stringent editorial standards of clarity, precision, quality sourcing, and inclusive and empathetic language.

3. Emphasizing precision, empathy, and inclusivity

Our goal is to ensure that every piece of content we publish is comprehensible and accessible to our readers. As such, we follow a proprietary style guide based on the Associated Press Stylebook. This guide instructs our writers and editors to focus on readability, clarity, empathy, inclusivity, practical application, quality sourcing, and clear citations.

Though our voice is friendly and welcoming, we also strive to be transparent, bold, and forward-thinking. We employ conscious, empathetic, and respectful language that encourages inclusivity and compassion. We tell judgment-free stories and make intentional choices to dispel stigma and stereotypes, and to prevent injecting bias.

At TheEMTSpot, conscious language is an enduring commitment. We regularly interact with community advocates and study language trends within health communities. We choose our words cautiously, aiming to prevent stigma and empower our readers.

As language evolves, so do we. We understand that health affects each of us differently, so we respect people’s choice of words when sharing their personal stories. We believe we can’t truly support our readers unless we place them at the center of everything we do. Our choice of language reflects this commitment.

4. Continuous monitoring and updating of content

Health information is constantly evolving. New research is published, outdated concepts are debunked, and terminology becomes outdated.

At TheEMTSpot, we continuously monitor and update our content to share the most current and accurate information possible. To achieve this, we have dedicated teams of editors and experts who focus on identifying and updating inaccurate or unclear information.

Our Medical Integrity team keeps track of changes in care standards, new clinical guidelines, drug approvals or recalls, and major practice recommendations. The team informs our editors and partners so they can update our content to reflect the latest, most accurate, and most useful information.

Our content may include a variety of dates:

• Writer date: The date when the content was written and published.
• Medical review date: The last date when a medical expert reviewed the article.
• Updated date: The date when our editorial team updated the content to include the latest, most accurate information.

We monitor and update content in various ways:

• Regular audits: We perform regular audits of our content to address changes in language, medical terminology, and new preferences among health communities.
• Annual brand vetting: We reassess vetted brands on a yearly basis and update content referencing those brands to reflect any changes in the brand’s performance against our vetting criteria.
• Daily timely updates: Our News team keeps track of changes in ongoing stories and publishes timely updates on the most significant health news of the day.
• Immediate action from feedback: We welcome reader feedback on our content and take immediate action to address any potential issues. When a reader points out a potential issue with our content — such as inaccurate, outdated, unclear, or contradictory information — we take immediate action.

Our editorial process, designed for our readers

At TheEMTSpot, our readers are our foremost priority. We aim to be a supporter in everyone’s journey to better manage their blood pressure. Our editorial process guarantees that we can provide the most accurate, relevant, and accessible content possible.

We are continually striving to improve, and we value your input if you think we could be doing better. If you have any questions or comments about the accuracy or usability of our content, or believe an article is outdated, you can easily let us know by visiting this page.

Accessibility

Conforming To Accessibility Guidelines

At TheEMTSpot.org, our team of web developers has always been fully committed to making all aspects of the website as accessible as possible. Our goal has always been to make it as easy as possible for people with any type of disability to consume our content. 

We constantly review changes in the W3 Content Accessibility Guidelines to ensure that we don’t unintentionally cause barriers for people with disabilities. 

Better Accessibility Through Feedback

While the W3 Content Accessibility Guidelines provide a great framework for content websites to implement new accessibility features, nothing can replace real-world user experiences from our readers. 

That’s why we have always been open to all feedback from visitors to our site who may rely on certain accessibility features. 

If you have encountered any problem that makes using our website more difficult, please use the contact page to send us a message. 

All we need is the URL of the page that is causing trouble and a quick description of the problem, and our development team will work on finding a solution. 

Accessibility Features

To ensure that the TheEMTSpot website is fully compliant, we constantly analyze new web pages for all accessibility features provided by phones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers. 

We ensure that all of these features comply with accessibility standards and recommendations:

• Labels on static and dynamic input forms
• Keyboard and mouse accessibility integration
• Color contrast
• Easy text zoom features
• Descriptive video and image captions
• Closed captions on videos
• Easy to understand link descriptions
• Easy to view and navigate menus and forms
• Clear HTML heading structure for text content

Continuous Accessibility Assessments

Our development team has created a robust quality assurance process to ensure that all web pages comply with accessibility standards. This involves both manual and automated testing, including reviews by people with different types of disabilities. 

As technology changes quickly for accessibility features, we constantly review those new technologies to ensure that we work towards a more inclusive website for all of our readers.
