One idea, one topic
DITA Thought for Today: one idea, one topic.
Just saw a procedure with mixed in in the prerequisites. An attempt to sneak in another procedure!
Tip for today: dividing your task topic into sections is usually a tip-off that your topic has more than one procedure.
Remember – one idea, one topic. (Kind of like, “one man, one vote”.)
new GoMDweb sites going live
GoMDweb.com continues to launch great new sites for dentists.
- Check out the KJJ dental web site for a cool site with two languages.
- For a new site coming on line just now, check out Dacula Dental Associates.
We are very excited about bringing the benefits of our content publishing and lifecycle skills to health care, and contributing to improved caregiver-patient communication (and better outcomes!).
Content on doctor’s web sites
Ed Rabinowitz writes:
”Awhile back, you decided your practice needed to have a presence on the Web—a portal through which you could provide valuable information to your patients. You contracted with a website developer to launch such a site and populated it with items like the practice’s office hours, contact information, services provided, nice pictures of your building, and some biographical information on your staff. The problem, however, is that you did this five years ago, and little has been updated on the site since.”

Indeed. In talking to physicians, dentists and other health care providers one of the most common refrains of small and mid size practices is: ”we just don’t have time to update our practice web site”. It’s a good point. Without attention, content on the site grows stale and reflects poorly on the doctor. That’s why we like so much the commitment of Go MD Web to maintain the content and links in the health library and to provide updated articles for a range of specialties.
