This style guide has been created to encourage a consistent voice and message across all initiatives regardless of audience. Notes have been added when the context (e.g., patient resources) matters.
These recommendations were developed by a task force in 2018 and updated in 2022 based in part on a review of the style recommendations of 35+ other organizations. While it is impossible to agree with all of the disparate views, an effort was made to align our terminology with the specific priorities of our organization.
