+
+**Poor Goals** (not SMART):
+- "Feel better" (not specific or measurable)
+- "Improve diabetes" (not specific or time-bound)
+- "Get stronger" (not measurable)
+- "Return to normal" (vague, not specific)

+
+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+### How do I choose the right template?
+
+Match the template to your primary clinical focus:
+- **Chronic medical conditions** → general_medical or chronic_disease
+- **Post-surgery or injury** → rehabilitation or perioperative
+- **Psychiatric conditions** → mental_health
+- **Pain as primary issue** → pain_management
+
+### What if my patient has multiple conditions?
+
+Use the `chronic_disease_management_plan.tex` template for complex multimorbidity, or choose the template for the primary condition and add sections for comorbidities.
+
+### How often should treatment plans be updated?
+
+- **Initial creation**: At diagnosis or treatment initiation
+- **Regular updates**: Every 3-6 months for chronic conditions
+- **Significant changes**: When goals are met or treatment is modified
+- **Annual review**: Minimum for all chronic disease plans
+
+### Can I modify the LaTeX templates?
+
+Yes! Templates are designed to be customized. Modify sections, add specialty-specific content, or adjust formatting to meet your needs.
+
+### How do I ensure HIPAA compliance?
+
+- Remove all 18 HIPAA identifiers (see Safe Harbor method)
+- Use age ranges instead of exact ages (e.g., "60-65" not "63")
+- Remove specific dates, use relative timelines
+- Omit geographic identifiers smaller than state
+- Use `check_deidentification.py` script from clinical-reports skill
+
+### What if validation scripts find issues?
+
+Review the specific issues identified, consult reference files for guidance, and revise the plan accordingly. Common issues include:
+- Missing required sections
+- Goals not meeting SMART criteria
+- Insufficient monitoring parameters
+- Incomplete medication information
