Health Content Editorial Policy
Health Content and Links to External Sites
All healthcare content that is communicated to GHI and GHI HMO (collectively "GHI") subscribers and GHI network providers should be viewed as general information, intended to promote healthy lifestyles. All information is gathered from evidence-based research, national guidelines, best practice, and reputable resources and written or reviewed by a medical professional licensed independently in New York State. When available, all content will cite the sources and publication dates for the findings. In the event that only citing the source is deemed not sufficient by the Medical Affairs reviewer, and the author and/or source of the clinical findings are known to GHI, the author and/or source of the clinical findings will be cited.
Prior to distribution or viewing, all health content developed internally at GHI for the web is reviewed for clinical accuracy, regulatory compliance, readability and functionality. All content developed by third parties for use on GHI.com is held to these same standards.
Information obtained from any external site linked to www.ghi.com, is intended for your general knowledge only and does not imply endorsement or recommendation by GHI, or any of the participating GHI providers. Advice and opinions on treatment or care of an individual patient should be obtained through consultation with a healthcare professional.
GHI does not warrant the accuracy, timeliness or appropriateness for a particular purpose of any information obtained through this Web site. GHI shall not be liable for damages associated with alleged reliance on information provided on this site or information provided on sites linked to this site.
