Revision as of 17:40, 16 June 2015

Welcome to the online Provider Orientation Manual for the Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation. This is a resource for new providers, TDY personnel and full-time resident providers as well. Practicing medicine in Bush Alaska has its challenges and also its rewards. This wiki is intended to introduce you to the "YK Way." It is an evolving, never-ending work in progress, with several section still under construction.

Consult the User's Guide for general information on using wiki software.

Contents and Navigation

The sidebar to the left lists categories, or chapters, linking to information about our various departments, units, clinics, services and health care programs. The links may be the best route to what you're looking for, but searching is also effective. You may also wish to see the list of all pages.

Editing and Contributing

The ePOM is authored by a team of our senior medical staff. Questions, comments and requests can be directed to the Chief of Staff or Medical Director.

Redlinks

The contents of the ePOM are in flux. Editors can create links before a page is made. These show up in red (in the wiki world, these are known as "redlinks"). Clicking on one of those links will take you to an empty page. If you are logged in as an editor, you can create the page yourself. You can use your browser's backbutton to escape if you're not ready yet.

Editing

The ePOM uses a lightweight graphical editor to simplify the process of editing pages, but the standard wiki markup you may be familiar with from other wikis is still valid. As is a lot of simple html, if you're familiar with basic markup. You may find this cheatsheet helpful.

Pages with Structure

When a page has more than three headings in it, the wiki automatically generates a table of contents.

-== Structure ==
+==Contents and Navigation==
-The canonical structure of the ePOM appears in the left-hand navigation. Each "chapter" is a wiki category, which can contain sub-categories and pages. You can always use the links in the left column to navigate the site. However, there are no constraints ''requiring'' documents to be placed in this hierarchy, and some may fall entirely outside of it. Oftentimes, [[Special:Search|searching]] will be the quickest route to the content you seek. You may also wish to see the list of [[Special:AllPages|all pages]].

-=== Redlinks ===

-Because the contents of the ePOM are in flux, we have only fleshed-out a few sections. When no page or category has been built yet, its link appears red (in the wiki world, these are known as "redlinks"). Clicking on one of those links will prompt you to create the page yourself. You can back-up if you're not ready to do so.

-== Example Content ==
-In addition to the ePOM structure, some data has been entered, to provide a nucleus for discussion.
-=== Long Pages vs. Categories ===
-YKHC should decide how "atomic" it wants its content to be. Is it better to group single-pages together within a category, or to group all entries into one long page? Examples:
-* [[:Category:Ancillary_Services|Ancillary Services]] is a single, long document
-* [[:Category: Bush Medicine|Bush Medicine]] is a category, with separate pages for each topic.
-Each approach has its advantages.
 === Pages with Structure ===
 When a page has more than three headings in it, the wiki automatically generates a table of contents.
-* [[Botulism]] has an automatically-generatead Table of Contents, because it has internal headings
-* [[Fish Finger]] does not
-Many shorter documents lack this internal structure, but it could be useful to introduce a standard set (e.g. "description," "symptoms," "treatment," "resources")
-=== Aliases ===
-Many terms can have more than one name. Rather than duplicating information, a redirect is used:
-* [[Blubber Finger]] is another term for [[Fish Finger]], and redirects there
-* [[Aniak SRC]] is another term for [[Clara Morgan Subregional Clinic]]
