If you think of the
Healthwise® Knowledgebase as a library of
health-related information, then topics are the library
books-each containing information about a specific health condition, test, or
medication.
How topics are organized
Most topics are organized in sections. These sections are similar to the
chapters in a book.
Some sections you're likely to see are:
| A general introduction to the topic. |
| The common signs associated with the medical
condition. |
| Descriptions of the ways a condition can be treated
at home or by a health care provider. |
Navigating within a topic:
The topic title and the
topic section name appear at the top of the page in the
Healthwise® Knowledgebase. These headings can help
you remember where you are within a topic.
Links within a topic: Often the text in a topic contains words that connect, or
link, to pages with additional or related information. These links have a
different color or appearance than the surrounding text. Some links take you to
other parts of the same topic, and others take you to a different topic. Note
that the topic title (at the top of each page) changes when you follow a link
to a different topic.
Links in the Healthwise®
Knowledgebase can also lead you to illustrations, Actionsets, Decision Points,
and definitions.
