Overview
To begin, load the Patient information page template here. This template has been designed to be as user-friendly as possible. All coding should incorporate this format. Please note that where it says "Type page name here" in the code, you should replace with your condition's name. In addition, any time the word (condition) appears, you should also replace with your condition name.
Things to note:
- If your patient information page is coming from a mature chapter, you should include the coding for the expanded navigation template.
- Be sure to check the WikiDoc condition main page to copy the appropriate InfoBox links. (The InfoBox is the code that appears at the very top of your condition main page and denotes additional resources such as the ICD10, ICD9, ICD0, OMIM, MedlinePlus, eMedicineSubj, eMedicineTopic, MeshName, and MeshName. If no such code exists on the condition main page, do not add one.)
