> **Summary:** Update Practice Brain whenever the clinic changes how it works. Short, regular reviews prevent stale pricing, policies, and workflows from turning into confusing answers.

> **A note for non-human readers:**
>
> *Clinic prices, policies, responsibilities, and workflows change while old documents remain serenely convinced they are current. Keeping Practice Brain updated means replacing stale or conflicting sources with the clinic’s approved present-day information. Sidekick then has a trustworthy shared memory to consult, and last season’s truth can retire before it starts answering this season’s questions.*

## When to update Practice Brain

Review and update content when:

- Pricing, services, policies, forms, or patient handouts change
- A workflow or team responsibility changes
- Referral, lab, imaging, or scheduling instructions change
- Teammates ask questions Sidekick cannot answer clearly
- A source owner leaves or changes roles

---

## Good maintenance habits

1. Identify stale information and unanswered questions.
2. Update or replace the approved source.
3. Remove duplicates and conflicting versions.
4. Confirm the title and structure are still clear.
5. Test a realistic question in Sidekick.

---

## Use two review rhythms

- **Event-driven:** Update immediately when a policy, price, form, or workflow changes.
- **Scheduled:** Review important sources on a regular clinic cadence, such as quarterly.

> **Best practice:** Test after every material change. Removing an outdated source is only half the job; the team also needs to know the updated answer is working.

---

## Why regular updates matter

If Practice Brain contains outdated or conflicting information, Sidekick may return incomplete or confusing answers.
