[edit] Blood Fractions Guide Project Guidelines

The following are guidelines and objectives for producing our Blood Fractions Guide. Feel free to comment freely.

[edit] Project Aim and Goal

• Need to define the reason for this project
• Need to clearly describe our audience - who are we doing this for?
  • As we write and edit keeping in mind who we are speaking to will help us avoid the use of esoteric (intended for or understood by only an initiated few) terms
• Need to set milemarkers on road to completion
  • For example which fractions are most important and should be published first?

[edit] Create a Master List of Blood Fractions

• A-Z list of products made from blood
  • This is necessary to track progress and show the scope of the project
• Prioritize the project
  • Patients face the decision whether to accept albumin more often than platelet gel. Albumin might be considered as a priority. By setting project goals based on priority our efforts will be more effective and focused.

[edit] To Link or to Create an Article

• When to LINK to outside source
  • Generic definition is adequate
• When to CREATE an internal article
  • When generic definition isn't well suited. For example, a definition of albumin may be too esoteric for our needs.
