Origin year places a health practice in the year it was first adopted. Wikipedia records that after Semmelweis introduced hand washing in 1847, "the maternal mortality rate dropped from 18% to less than 2%" on his ward almost immediately. Browsing by origin year shows how long a practice a visitor takes for granted has actually been in use.
