Correction Policy
MyHealthChart
At MyHealthChart, we aim to provide clear, accurate, and useful health information based on reliable sources. Medical knowledge can change, sources can be updated, and mistakes can occasionally occur.
When we identify an error or receive credible information showing that something on our website needs correction, we review the issue and make appropriate changes.
Our goal is to keep our health information accurate, transparent, and useful to readers.
Health recommendations and medical knowledge can change over time. Readers should consider the publication or update date and consult qualified healthcare professionals for advice about their individual circumstances.
🎯Our Commitment to Accuracy
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that the information published on MyHealthChart is:
- Clear and understandable
- Factually accurate
- Supported by appropriate and reputable sources
- Consistent with established medical and public-health guidance where applicable
- Updated when important information changes
- Presented in a way that does not intentionally mislead readers
We do not guarantee that every page will always be completely error-free or that information will remain current indefinitely.
What We Correct
Corrections may be made when we identify issues such as:
1
Factual errors
Incorrect statements about medical conditions, tests, symptoms, medications, statistics, or other health information.
2
Outdated information
Information that has become materially outdated because of changes in medical guidance, research, terminology, or recommended practice.
3
Source or citation errors
Incorrect, incomplete, broken, or misleading references to supporting sources.
4
Calculation or tool errors
Incorrect formulas, calculations, ranges, units, or other technical problems in health calculators, charts, or interactive tools.
5
Typographical or editorial errors
Errors involving names, numbers, dates, terminology, spelling, links, or other information that could affect a reader's understanding.
6
Misleading or unclear wording
Content that may technically be accurate but could reasonably create a misleading impression because of its wording, missing context, or presentation.
How We Handle Corrections
When a potential error is reported, we may:
Not every reported issue will result in a change. We may investigate a report and determine that the existing information is adequately supported or that the disagreement reflects differing medical guidance or interpretation.
Medical Information and Corrections
Health information requires particular care because inaccurate information can potentially affect personal health decisions.
When reviewing a correction involving medical information, we may consult:
- Official public-health agencies
- Government health resources
- Medical and professional organizations
- Peer-reviewed research
- Clinical guidelines
- Official medication or regulatory information
- Other authoritative medical sources
Where appropriate, significant medical corrections may also be reviewed by a qualified healthcare professional.
A medical review is identified only when a qualified reviewer has actually reviewed the relevant content.

Providing a source helps us evaluate the report more efficiently.
What Happens After You Submit a Correction?
We review correction requests based on the information provided and the available evidence.
We do not guarantee a particular outcome or publication of every submitted correction. If a correction is warranted, we will update the relevant content as appropriate.
For significant corrections, we may add a visible correction note to the affected page.
We generally do not publish private correspondence between readers and MyHealthChart without permission
Editorial Independence
Our editorial content should not be changed simply because a person, organization, company, advertiser, or other interested party disagrees with information that is accurately supported by reliable evidence.
Correction decisions are based on accuracy, evidence, clarity, and the quality of available information.
Where credible sources disagree, we may update content to explain the disagreement rather than presenting one interpretation as universally established.
Updates vs. Corrections
Not every update is a correction.
Update:
We may update an article when new research, guidelines, recommendations, terminology, or other relevant information becomes available.
Correction
A correction is made when previously published information is determined to be materially inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in need of factual correction.
A page can therefore receive a new Last Updated date without having a formal correction.
