What the writer still has to fill in

1. Who the reader is, in the practice's own words.
2. The question the headline asks. Leave the answer blank until a clinician writes it.
3. Definitions, in plain language, after clinical review. This draft does not supply them.
4. What the finished page must not claim: outcomes, doses, required tests, or a diagnosis.
5. Sources the clinician will cite. None are listed here.
6. Internal links to add later: one service page, one earlier outline, one later outline.

Bracketed words in a title, such as [STATE] or [YEAR], are blanks. They are not filled in on this site.
