Insights
Guides, dated and reviewed
Guides on what a health practice may say online, how patients find care, and what a practice website should do. Written by practising clinicians, dated, and updated when the rules change.
Every guide is written by one of Monograph's founders, both practising pharmacists in British Columbia, and reviewed by the other before it is published. Each page shows its author, its reviewer, the date it was published, the date it was last reviewed and the date of its next review. Guides that describe a regulator's standard are re checked against the current version at least every ninety days; the rest at least once a year, and sooner when the rules or the tools change.

Booked or requested: what your booking tool decides
Why an online booking is sometimes an appointment and sometimes a request, how the common Canadian tools behave, what the same distinction means for refills and dental appointments, and how a practice website should word the button and the confirmation.
