Medical Content Brief and Evidence Review Checklist
Use this template to brief and review a medical content project before it moves into production. It works for a scientific presentation, a 2D explainer video, or a medical e-learning module. Copy the fields into your team's project document and adapt them to your review process.
1. Define the project
| Field | Complete for your project |
|---|---|
| Project and owner | [Working title] / [responsible person] / [version and date] |
| Audience | [Role, prior knowledge, geography, and intended setting] |
| Communication objective | [What the audience should understand after using the asset] |
| Format | [Slide deck / 2D video / e-learning / infographic] |
| Source boundary | [Approved publications, supplementary materials, brand documents, and exclusions] |
| Design requirements | [Brand guidance, terminology, accessibility, and delivery constraints] |
| Review plan | [Scientific reviewer, approval workflow, and target date] |
2. Plan the story
Write one sentence for each stage: context, scientific question, explanation or evidence, limitations, and recap. Check whether the sequence serves the audience's objective. Flag missing evidence before generating or designing the asset.
3. Build the evidence map
Create one row for every substantive claim. Use exact locations so another reviewer can find the supporting material.
| Asset location | Claim or visual | Source and location | Reviewer decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| [Slide / scene / module] | [Exact statement or visual meaning] | [Document, version, page, passage, table, or figure] | [Accept / revise / remove, with reason] |
This is an empty template. Populate it using your actual sources; it does not represent a completed scientific review or a customer result.
4. Check the format-specific details
Scientific slides
- Headings match what the data support.
- Charts preserve units, denominators, time points, and relevant uncertainty.
- References and necessary qualifiers remain readable.
- The narrative includes limitations needed to interpret the findings.
Medical videos
- Narration, on-screen text, and animation tell the same scientific story.
- Movement and visual emphasis do not imply unsupported effects.
- Scene-level evidence can be located during review.
- Pacing and terminology fit the intended audience.
E-learning modules
- The learning objective is explicit.
- The sequence matches learners' existing knowledge.
- Any assessment explanations are supported by the source material.
- Delivery, accessibility, and tracking requirements are confirmed.
5. Close the review loop
Record the changes requested, the person responsible, and the evidence supporting each revision. Recheck affected claims after editing. Identify the approved version and the person responsible for future updates. Use your organization's formal approval process for the intended use; this checklist supports that process.
