Editorial policy

At Northbay Health, we understand the importance of sharing clinically accurate information that you can understand. Having trustworthy content at your fingertips can help you make informed decisions about your health.

That's why we've prioritized our goal of sharing content on northbay.org that's medically accurate, easy to understand, inclusive and actionable. 

Our editorial process

An extended team of seasoned professional editors, writers, journalists and academics develops every page on the Northbay Health website. Topics are researched in depth, vetted by medical experts and written using citations and references when warranted.

When medical information is being shared, a Northbay Health clinical expert reviews it for accuracy. Prior to publication, our copy team ensures that the content is easy to read and that it’s free of errors.

Use of artificial intelligence (AI)

Northbay Health maintains a strict commitment to providing medically accurate information you can trust. Due to current discrepancies about the trustworthiness of information developed by generative AI tools, our current policy is to avoid using AI tools to write clinical content.

On the occasion that AI technology is used to review content reading levels or to check for brand style discrepancies, humans will confirm that nothing substantive has been adjusted.
