File Naming Norms Updated

File naming conventions have evolved from systems optimized for index cards to ones attuned to computer file managers and, most recently, natural language processors. 

Best practices structure information object names in ways that are Internet-safe, file-system optimized, and easiest to search and browse in online databases and Internet search engines. 

Please see and consider the linked file naming norm, which draws upon international (ISO) standards, Internet best practices, Connect Care attachment guides, and AHS Health Information Management procedures. The norms are updated to better reflect what works best for Connect Care's online manuals and in-system learning home dashboards.
