Editorial policy

Ethesia's newsroom covers the US anesthesia, nursing and healthcare-staffing industry for the clinicians and employers who work in it. This page explains how our articles are made, where AI is and isn't involved, and who is accountable for what you read.

What we cover, and why

We publish when something actually happens: a payment rule is finalized, a licensure compact adds a state, a drug shortage hits anesthesia carts, a staffing market moves. Our monitoring system scans official and industry sources daily — CMS, the Federal Register, the FDA, professional associations, and the trade press — and detects developments worth explaining. We don't publish filler, and we don't publish on a quota.

How a story is made

Every article starts from detected source material, never from a blank prompt. Facts are extracted from the original sources with their citations attached, an editor approves the angle before anything is written, and drafting is AI-assisted under a strict style and accuracy contract: the draft may only use facts present in its cited sources, and every factual claim in a published article links to the primary source it came from.

A human editor reads, edits and approves every article before it is published. The named byline — a person or the Ethesia Editorial Team — is accountable for every fact in the piece. Nothing on this site is published without that human decision.

Where AI is involved

We use AI to monitor sources at a scale a small team couldn't, to group related coverage of the same story, and to assist with drafting. We do not use AI to invent facts, quotes or sources, and our tooling automatically rejects drafts whose claims can't be traced to the cited source material. Clinical or compensation claims are additionally marked when reviewed by a credentialed clinician.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we correct the article and mark it with a visible "Updated" date. Material corrections are noted in the article. To report an error, contact press@ethesia.com.

Independence

Articles are reporting, not advertising. Coverage decisions are made on newsworthiness to clinicians and healthcare employers — never sold.
