Editorial Policy
Clinical content standards and correction process.
HCP Connect publishes clinical updates, drug records, NPI information, and clinical reference content for healthcare professionals. This policy explains how that content is selected, reviewed, updated, and corrected.
Editorial Independence & Funding
Editorial decisions are separated from advertising and commercial funding.
HCP Connect is operated and funded by Stravent LLC. Stravent LLC provides technology and operational support. Vaccine-safety content is developed and maintained under HCP Connect’s editorial and clinical governance framework. Funding and commercial relationships do not determine the selection, interpretation, review, or presentation of vaccine-safety information.
HCP Connect does not display advertisements for medicinal products on its Vaccine Safety Registry or within vaccine-safety editorial content. Where commercial content is displayed elsewhere, it is clearly distinguished from clinical monographs.

Preferred sources for clinical update coverage.
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.
Review Workflow
How content moves from source to publication.
Topic Selection
Coverage is selected for relevance to healthcare professionals, drug approvals, regulatory updates, clinical practice, and source availability.
Source Review
Articles are grounded in source material such as regulatory releases, journal publications, clinical organizations, and official public records.
Editorial Review
Editors review clarity, factual accuracy, sourcing, professional tone, and separation between editorial and advertising interests.
Corrections
Material factual updates, clarifications, and sourcing corrections are documented through the public corrections log.
Sources
Source-first clinical publishing.
Drug content prioritizes FDA label data and public regulatory records. Provider lookup pages use public NPPES registry information. Drug update articles should include reference links, publication metadata, and author context where available.
