Remove all [bracketed] and/or red text before publishing! And also the purple note panels!

[Bracketed] text should be replaced with actual content.

Red text is instructional.

Header Case

• Title of page and response option headers should be sentence case (to match how they display in the online system).

• Other headers in page that aren’t response options should be title case (Description, On-Screen Instructions, etc.).

Labels

• Use form_field and any relevant segment labels (asc, hospital, nursingfacility, pharmacy)

• Use the relevant section label (e.g., surgical_event, event_information)

  • Note: event-specific fields should be tagged with the associated event type (e.g., surgical_event, fall_event) and NOT with overarching header “event_information”)

• Use required if the field is required to submit for all reports.

  • For example, “it is required if it appears” should not be labeled “required.”

• Use essential if the field is a top priority for transferring the data dictionary.

  • Note: if the field is required, it will already be considered “essential” and doesn’t need a second label.

  • All “essential” labels will need to be removed before the data dictionary goes live.

Prompt Text

If none or if field does not appear on-screen, put “n/a.” Use “include page” macro where possible (see examples below).

Field Type

Use standard language below and delete the others. Use include page macro where possible (see examples, below).

Checkbox (multiselect)

Date (mm/dd/yyyy)

Number (minimum value: x; maximum value: x) [Delete min &/or max values if irrelevant]

Text (maximum length: x) [Delete maximum length if irrelevant]

OPTION ONE: Answer options with content (definition and/or inclusions, exclusions)

Add an anchor in front of the H1 “Responses” heading and name the anchor “Top.”

Include a table of contents, which should be limited to the answer option headers and displayed as a list.

Add a dividing line macro below the table of contents.

Definition

Copy/paste the “description” text from the data dictionary.

Inclusions and Exclusions

Add a page layout of two equal columns below the definition. Inclusions go in the left column, exclusions in the right.

Dividing Line

Add a dividing line after the “return to top” link and before the next answer option, or the next section (probably “Guide for Use”).

OPTION TWO: Answer options without content

Just list the available answer options without the answerID and answerCode.
