AI Review Disclosure

Editorial tools do not replace human review.

HCP Connect may use software and AI-assisted tooling to organize source material, check structure, identify missing metadata, or flag statements for review. Publishing decisions, clinical framing, corrections, and final accountability remain with the editorial team and qualified human reviewers.

Update Policy

Material changes are reviewed and logged.

Articles may be updated when source labeling changes, new trial data becomes available, errors are confirmed, or context needs clarification. Significant factual corrections should be reflected in article metadata and documented through the public corrections log.
