Heidi Answers are reviewed for clinical accuracy and approved by practicing clinicians under Heidi's clinical governance framework, including Heidi's Chief Medical Information Officer and Clinical Safety Lead.
Content is provided as clinical reference for qualified healthcare professionals only and does not constitute medical advice or replace independent clinical judgment. Always consult your local guidelines and most current evidence.
Heidi Answers provides medical education and reference for qualified practitioners.
When you reach for a clinical reference, you want to know who reviewed it and how recently. Here is how that review works.
A draft is generated from the relevant Heidi Evidence entry using a fixed structure: a direct answer, a body summarizing the evidence, contraindications and cautions where relevant, and references.
Drafts are assigned to a Heidi clinician whose specialty matches the topic.
The reviewer checks whether the direct answer is accurate to the published evidence, the cited references are real and correctly attributed, and the contraindications and cautions are complete for a clinician audience.
Before publishing, every answer passes through a clinical safety and regulatory check covering scope and framing, off-label use, contested evidence, and any drug listing or medico-legal sensitivity. This step includes review by Heidi's Chief Medical Information Officer and Clinical Safety Lead.
Approved answers go live with a validator byline showing the reviewing clinician, their credentials, and the validation date. A last reviewed indicator stays visible on the page.
Every published answer meets the same bar: accurate, sourced, and safe for clinical use.
Every answer is assigned to a Heidi clinician whose specialty matches the topic before it can be approved for publication.
Final QA includes review by Heidi's Chief Medical Information Officer and Clinical Safety Lead before any answer goes live.
Published answers show the reviewing clinician, their credentials, and the validation date so you always know who reviewed what you are reading.
A last reviewed indicator remains on the page so you can assess how current the answer is relative to evolving guidelines.
Each Heidi Answer starts as a draft from Heidi Evidence.
Every claim in a draft carries a source citation back to the original document.
The draft itself is never published; it is the starting point for clinician review.
