Our editorial standards

Who writes these pages

The NANO guides are written and reviewed internally by the NANO Health Suite Clinical & Coding Team — the people at NANO Health Suite who work on DRG grouping, clinical coding, documentation integrity and payer integration. We use a team byline because these pages are collective work, not to diffuse responsibility: the publisher is NANO Health Suite, and what appears here is ours.

Where the facts come from

Facts about public standards and systems — who maintains them, where they are mandated, which version is in force — are taken from the body responsible for them: CMS for MS-DRG, Solventum for IR-DRG, IHACPA for AR-DRG, the Council of Health Insurance and NPHIES in Saudi Arabia, and the Department of Health Abu Dhabi and the Dubai Health Authority in the UAE.

Claims about NANO products come from those products’ own pages. We do not introduce a figure in a guide that is not already published on the product page it describes.

Accreditation and licensing

We separate three things that are easily conflated: a product being certified, a company being licensed, and a product supporting a standard. Those are different claims about different bodies, and we state them in separate sentences.

We do not claim a licence, certification or partnership unless there is a document. When we state an accreditation we state its scope with it — “certified” without the version is a claim nobody can check. Our IHACPA certificate is available on request.

Arabic

🔴 The Arabic on these pages is machine-translated and editorially reviewed, and has not yet been reviewed by a native Arabic specialist. We publish it rather than delay it, because half a site in Arabic is worse than Arabic awaiting review — but we say so rather than let it be discovered.

If you find a language error or an imprecise term, tell us and we will correct it.

Updates and corrections

Every guide carries a last-updated date, and it is a real date rather than a number that moves on its own. When we correct something substantive we correct it and update the date; we do not quietly remove a page because it became inconvenient.
