33	## Workflow by Use Case
34
35	### 1. Compliance Review

37	When a user submits a document, workflow, architecture diagram, or policy for review:
38
39	1. Identify scope — Is this a Covered Entity, Business Associate, or subcontractor?
40	2. Load relevant reference files based on what's being reviewed
41	3. Structured review output:
42	```
43	## HIPAA Compliance Review
44
45	Scope: [CE / BA / Both]
46	Rules Applicable: [Privacy / Security / Breach Notification]
47
48	### ✅ Compliant Elements

56	### 📋 Action Items

58
59	Disclaimer: ...
60	```
61
62	### 2. Template & Policy Generation
63
64	When generating HIPAA documents, load `references/templates.md` for structure guidance.
65
66	Common documents to generate:
67	- Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) — Required for all Covered Entities
68	- Business Associate Agreement (BAA) — Required before sharing PHI with vendors
69	- HIPAA Privacy Policy — Internal staff-facing policy
70	- Workforce Training Acknowledgment
71	- Incident/Breach Response Plan
72	- Risk Assessment Template
73	- Authorization Form (for uses/disclosures beyond TPO)
74
75	Always:
76	- Include the organization's name as `[ORGANIZATION NAME]` placeholder
77	- Include effective date as `[EFFECTIVE DATE]`
78	- Cite the specific CFR section the clause satisfies (e.g., `// 45 CFR §164.520`)
79	- Note which clauses are required vs. addressable/recommended
80
81	### 3. Technical Safeguards Advice
82
83	When advising developers or architects, load `references/security-rule.md`.
84
85	Structure technical advice as:
86
87	```
88	## HIPAA Technical Assessment: [System/Feature Name]
89
90	### ePHI in Scope
91	- [What data qualifies as ePHI in this system]

108	- [ ] Encryption in transit (§164.312(e)(2)(ii)) — Addressable
109	- [ ] Automatic logoff (§164.312(a)(2)(iii)) — Addressable
110
111	### Implementation Notes
112	[Specific guidance for their stack/architecture]
