How we source content, who reviews it, how we handle corrections, and how we make money without compromising what we publish.
MedicalRecords.com documents sources, updates content when material evidence changes, maintains a corrections process, and separates advertising from editorial decisions. Medical content may receive risk-based clinical review. A reviewer and review date appear only when approval is recorded against the exact published revision.
Ace Bhattacharjya started MedicalRecords.com because patients deserve straight answers, not marketing copy disguised as health information. This editorial policy exists to keep us honest as the company grows.
Every article we publish is built to help you do something specific: get your records from a particular hospital, choose between two EMR systems, understand a diagnosis, or know your legal rights in your state. If it does not help you act, it does not belong here.
We source from peer-reviewed journals, CDC, FDA, HHS, and established clinical guidelines. Not health blogs. Not press releases. Not vendor marketing materials. Sources are cited inline, and when the original research is available online, we link directly to it so you can verify.
Medical content may receive risk-based clinical review. Reviewer attribution appears only when approval is recorded against the exact published revision.
The FDA updated drug guidance last month. Three states changed records request laws this year. We track all of it and update content when the facts change — not on some arbitrary annual schedule, but when something actually changes. Pages show author, reviewer, and update details only when those records apply to the published revision.
No anonymous "medical team" bylines. Every writer and reviewer has a public profile with their real name and credentials. You can see exactly who wrote the article and who reviewed it. If you want to verify their credentials, you can.
Research & Planning
We pick topics based on what patients actually search for, what questions our readers ask, and where existing information online is wrong or missing.
Expert Writing
Healthcare writers draft from primary sources. Every claim needs a citation. "Studies show" without naming the study does not pass review.
Medical Review
A licensed clinician from our advisory board reads the full draft. They flag errors, missing context, and anything that could mislead a patient. They can and do reject content.
Editorial Review
If a sentence requires a medical degree to understand, it gets rewritten. We write for the person Googling their diagnosis at 2am, not for clinicians.
Publication & Monitoring
Published with author, reviewer, and date visible. We monitor for guideline changes, reader corrections, and new research that affects what we published.
We make money through referral fees, lead generation, and sponsored content. We are explicit about this because hiding your business model is a credibility problem, not a strategy. Here is exactly how the money works and what it does not touch:
The information on MedicalRecords.com is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on this website.
Found a factual error, an outdated statistic, or a broken link? We want to know. We investigate every report and correct confirmed errors within 48 hours. Our readers have caught things our reviewers missed, and that feedback loop makes the content better.
