Editorial policy

myPsychAssist Editorial Standards

How myPsychAssist selects sources, writes educational content, uses synthetic examples, and corrects published material.

This page describes the editorial process used for the first content batch published on myPsychAssist.

Audience and purpose

The content is for solo psychiatric prescribers who want practical, reviewable guidance.

myPsychAssist content is written to help clinicians make better documentation and workflow decisions. It is not a substitute for professional judgment, legal advice, billing advice, or organizational policy.

The editorial goal is to be specific enough that a clinician can use the page, skeptical enough that the page does not overclaim, and plain enough that it can be read quickly during a working day.

Source selection

We prefer primary or authoritative sources when a statement needs support.

  • Government guidance from HHS, CMS, NIMH, Telehealth.HHS.gov, or similar bodies
  • Recognized professional sources such as psychiatry.org or Merck Manual Professional
  • High-quality guidance that is directly relevant to the clinical or workflow question
  • Current or recently reviewed sources when the topic can change over time
Synthetic examples

Examples are synthetic and labeled as such.

The first content batch uses synthetic chart examples only. That keeps the pages useful without exposing real patient information or inventing case histories.

If an example could be mistaken for a real patient record, it gets rewritten or removed.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we correct it visibly.

Correction process

  • Identify the issue and the affected page
  • Review the source again
  • Update or remove the inaccurate statement
  • Refresh the visible last-reviewed date when the page is rechecked
  • Keep a correction path open for clinicians and readers
Transparency

The product should not pretend that educational content is clinical authority.

Educational material

Explains concepts, workflow, and documentation patterns.

Not legal advice

Does not replace attorney review, organizational policy, or record-retention rules.

Not billing advice

Does not replace payer instructions or coding review.

Public analytics and privacy

The website uses first-party analytics without third-party advertising pixels.

myPsychAssist uses privacy-first, first-party analytics to understand public-site performance, visitor journeys, and reliability. The system relies on pseudonymous session identifiers, campaign codes only when a valid ref code is present, and coarse metadata such as route category, referrer category, device family, and browser family.

We do not intentionally collect patient names, diagnoses, medication lists, transcripts, SOAP content, form values, authorization headers, cookies, or reset tokens in analytics records.

  • No third-party advertising pixels
  • No sale of analytics data
  • Security logging for operational review
  • Retention rules for analytics and security data
  • Opt-out or privacy questions through support@mypsychassist.com
