WikiMSK:Website Brief
From WikiMSK
Mission Statement
The aim of this wiki is to become a modern, uptodate, central repository of knowledge for the practice of Musculoskeletal Medicine in New Zealand. Most content is planned to be open access, except for the training portal (read below). Only NZAMM members are eligible for accounts, and account creation is managed by the administrator.
Structure
- Articles may be on any Musculoskeletal Medicine topic. I will use Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy as an example. But they can also be on procedures, examination, concepts, or anything.
- Articles are placed into one or more categories to allow ease of browsing and search. Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy is is the Elbow & Forearm Category, as well as the Tendinopathies Category.
- Categories are placed into Portals. The Elbow & Forearm Category is placed into the Topics by region portal, The Tendinopathies Category is placed into the Topics by concept portal
- A dropbox or onenote type product only allows you to place a particular file in one particular folder. A wiki allows the file to be in as many areas as you want. This makes searching for content much easier.
The portals are below:
Most portals are fairly self-explanatory. DDX means differential diagnosis, an area for differential diagnosis lists for regions. These articles can be placed into other articles and you only have to edit it once. EBQ means evidence based questions. This is an area for the analysis of key MSK papers.
Access Control
- Any article can be made private. It can be locked to one users, or a group of users.
- The Training Portal has many helpful articles and links but access is only allowed for NZAMM members. This section can be used for many purposed. For example storing links to recorded zoom lectures, or uploading material where permission has only been granted for NZAMM members to access.
Quality Control
Articles go through quality improvement stages:
- Stub: basically a dump of information or limited information. Indicated by a quarter circle at the top right of the article
- Partial. Most of the structure and content is present. Indicated by a half circle
- Complete. Thought to be complete by the non-fellow author but not signed off. Indicated by a three quarter circle
- Certified. Indicates that the article has been signed off by a fellow or other relevant expert. Indicated by a full green circle, and says the reviewer and date of review.
