Standards

1. Indian Health Service offices or programs should establish a periodic review cycle of documents disseminated through the IHS Internet or Intranet to support IHS credibility and provide current, accurate information to the user. (See "Meta Tags" section of this document for additional information.)
    
2. Special care should be exercised where there is a potential to disclose privacy or other information protected or otherwise inappropriate for release.

Guidelines

1. Web document owners are responsible for obtaining authorization prior to releasing or publishing information in paper or electronic format.
    
2. Clearance must be obtained if an electronic product is not a derivative of a publication that has already been cleared.
    
3. When publishing an electronic version of a previously published document, it is recommended that the document be encompassed within a table.
    
1. A table width=80% is recommended to simulate margins  to make the printed version of the document more closely reflect its original counterpart and create a sufficient margin for any monitor’s size or resolution setting.
    
2. It is important to assign both the table and the table cell(s) width based on percentages rather than pixels. Not all browsers have the ability to understand table structure in one format (i.e. percentages), and the table cells in another (i.e. pixels).
    
4. Reference the HHS World Wide Web Applications and the Internet Best Practices and Guidelines, http://www.hhs.gov/progorg/oirm/bestguid.html, "Content Management", "Information Collection", "Information System Protection", and "Information Release" sections for additional information.
