+## Workflow Examples
+
+### Case Report Workflow
+
+1. **Obtain informed consent** from patient
+2. **Generate template**: `python generate_report_template.py --type case_report`
+3. **Write case report** following CARE structure
+4. **Validate compliance**: `python validate_case_report.py case_report.md`
+5. **Check de-identification**: `python check_deidentification.py case_report.md`
+6. **Submit to journal** with CARE checklist
+
+### Clinical Trial SAE Workflow
+
+1. **Generate SAE template**: `python generate_report_template.py --type sae`
+2. **Complete SAE form** within 24 hours of event
+3. **Assess causality** using WHO-UMC or Naranjo criteria
+4. **Validate completeness**: `python validate_trial_report.py sae_report.md`
+5. **Submit to sponsor** within regulatory timelines (7 or 15 days)
+6. **Notify IRB** per institutional policy
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Privacy and Ethics
+✓ Always obtain informed consent for case reports  
+✓ Remove all 18 HIPAA identifiers before publication  
+✓ Use de-identification validation scripts  
+✓ Document consent in manuscript  
+✓ Consider re-identification risk for rare conditions  
+
+### Clinical Quality
+✓ Use professional medical terminology  
+✓ Follow structured reporting templates  
+✓ Include all required elements  
+✓ Document chronology clearly  
+✓ Support diagnoses with evidence  
+
+### Regulatory Compliance
+✓ Meet SAE reporting timelines (7-day, 15-day)  
+✓ Follow ICH-E3 structure for CSRs  
+✓ Maintain ALCOA-CCEA data integrity  
+✓ Document protocol adherence  
+✓ Use MedDRA coding for adverse events  
+
+### Documentation Standards
+✓ Sign and date all clinical notes  
+✓ Document medical necessity  
+✓ Use standard abbreviations only  
+✓ Avoid prohibited abbreviations (JCAHO "Do Not Use" list)  
+✓ Maintain legibility and completeness
