CHOC Digital Ecosystem Framework
Using this Guide
Our organization is complex, but our website doesn’t have to be. Our goal is to make CHOC’s digital ecosystem simpler, clearer and faster for our communities. We embrace open source yet adhere to strict guidelines where it comes to protecting personal and healthcare data.
All materials produced by or on behalf of CHOC should follow the principles, standards and guidelines contained within this site.

Guiding Principles & Philosophy
Drawing inspiration from gov.uk, we approach design with the customer in mind, whether they are patients, parents, doctors, or donors. Our goal is to make information easy and accessible for everyone.
Design Standards
The CHOC identity is one of our institution’s most important assets. Used properly, it will convey our core values, provide clarity around our services, and strengthen our relationships – with our patients and families, our partners, the medical community, and the potential donors that we rely on for support.
Content Standards
How we speak about CHOC is as important as what we are saying. As an organization with a higher purpose, we must try to reflect our noble mission in every written communication. And using a consistent voice and tone in our CHOC from competitors, establishes confidence and credibility, and enhances our audiences’ experiences with the brand.
Site Architecture, Technologies & Framework
The CHOC Digital Ecosystem is built on a flexible framework designed for ease of development, streamlined content delivery and a light, fast user experience.
