We propose an RLM (Recursive Language Models)-based iterative annotation system for medical case report texts. Unlike single-pass LLM approaches, our method validates extraction results and performs additional annotation when predefined quality criteria are not satisfied. We introduce Event Coverage, a clinical-event-based evaluation metric, and dynamically switch strategies according to real-time quality indicators. In preliminary experiments, iterative refinement improved Event Coverage from 54% (single-pass) to 96% with an average of two iterations. The system was developed in collaboration with practicing clinicians, reflecting practical requirements for high-quality pre-review drafts. Our results suggest that iterative quality control can enhance completeness while enabling local LLM deployment for privacy-preserving clinical applications.
