Product Expiration Policy

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

POGOe offers a number of geriatrics-related materials for use in your educational setting. In order to ensure that the products remain usable, we have instituted this product expiration policy:

1. All products are subject to review every 3 years for clinical accuracy and relevancy.

2. Authors whose products are due for a review will receive a notice 3 months prior to the expiration date.

3. In the notice authors will be asked to indicate whether the product content is still clinically accurate and relevant or if it needs updating.

  • If the author responds that the product content is still clinically accurate and relevant, the product will be cleared for another 3 years.
  • If the author responds that the product is outdated but they plan to update it, a product advisory banner will appear on the site bearing the following statement: “This product is currently under content review. The posted version may contain time-sensitive biomedical information that might be inaccurate, obsolete, or irrelevant. Please email Editor@POGOe.org if you would like to be notified once the review process for this product has been completed.”.
  • If the author responds saying that the product is outdated but they do not plan to update it, the product will be immediately removed from the POGOe Library.
  • If the author does not respond, the product will be removed from the POGOe Library.
