- workflows related to form authoring and completion
- how to manage the rendering of forms
- how to control form behavior
- how to automatically populate answers within a form
- how to extract information from a completed form
- how to work with modular forms and data dictionaries
- how to work with adaptive forms.
ALTERNATIVE NAMES
HL7 FHIR® Implementation Guide: Structured Data Capture (SDC), Release 3 may also go by the following names or acronyms:
"HL7 FHIR® IG: Structured Data Capture (SDC), R3", "HL7 FHIR® IG: Structured Data Capture (SDC), Release 1", , SDC

BENEFITS
- Provides guidance on how to use Questionnaire and QuestionnaireResponse to handle the complexities that appear in real-world forms
- Simplifies user experience of filling out forms by allowing re-use of existing data and automating the flow of completion so that users only see the questions and answers relevant to them
- Allows data collected using Questionnaire responses to be more easily integrated into the rest of the FHIR ecosystem
- Provides a platform for consistent interoperability with FHIR Questionnaires where other implementation guides can narrow to reflect their own requirements and capabilities.
