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.” If automatically assigned, use excerpt text.
