Patient-service claims are published only when we can explain the practical user task and identify a reliable source. PGIMER-controlled pages are the preferred source for PGIMER registration, schedules, contacts, reports and operational rules.
Source hierarchy
- PGIMER live patient-service pages and department records.
- PGIMER notices, circulars and official PDFs.
- Other government sources when they directly support a relevant public-service fact.
- Reliable secondary reporting only when an official source is unavailable or additional context is needed.
Another hospital blog is not treated as a primary authority for a PGIMER operational fact.
Verification dates
A “Last checked” date is changed only when the recorded source is actually reviewed. Cosmetic editing, SEO changes or republishing do not automatically refresh the verification date.
High-change information
Registration workflows, OPD schedules, teleconsultation eligibility, phone numbers and service URLs are treated as high-sensitivity information. They should be rechecked more often than background information.
What makes a page worth publishing
We do not create a page merely because a keyword exists. A page should solve a distinct patient task, add useful organization or troubleshooting, and avoid duplicating another page on the site. Closely related keyword variants are consolidated into one authoritative resource.
Use of drafting and technical tools
Drafting, coding and organizational tools may assist with research workflows, structure and editing. They are not treated as factual sources. Operational claims must be traceable to the recorded source before publication, and automatically generated department or keyword pages are not published without manual review.
Medical boundary
This site explains patient-service routes. It does not diagnose symptoms, recommend treatment or tell a patient which specialty is medically appropriate. Where clinical judgment is required, users should rely on qualified medical professionals or PGIMER.
Corrections
When a verified fact changes, the page and structured record should be corrected. Material changes can be noted in an update history. Readers can report suspected outdated information through the corrections/contact route.
