Cliniva China Research Ethics Policy

Cliniva does not publish a patient story, quotation, image, record excerpt, or testimonial without explicit, documented authorization for that public use. Consent to receive coordination services is not treated as consent to appear in editorial or promotional material.

Cliniva does not fabricate testimonials, composite experiences presented as real people, quotations, outcomes, or endorsements. Illustrative scenarios must be labeled as fictional and must not reproduce a real person's identifiable experience.

When authorized material is de-identified, direct identifiers are removed and combinations of rare diagnosis, age, location, date, institution, image, or treatment details are reviewed for re-identification risk. Details are generalized or omitted when authorization does not cover them.

Before an original survey begins, Cliniva documents its purpose, population, recruitment, consent language, data minimization, storage, analysis plan, conflicts, and publication limits. A proportionate ethics, privacy, and medical review determines whether the work may proceed.

Published results describe response counts, missing data, sampling limits, sponsorship, and uncertainty. Cliniva does not present a convenience survey as representative of all patients or use participation to influence hospital access or coordination.
