      "As such, the Questionnaire resource provides a means to standardize the information gathering process (how information is captured), but not how data is interoperably compared, analyzed or computed upon (typically managed using Observation, DiagnosticReport as well as other resources).

      Questionnaire supports data-collection workflow to a limited extent, in that - once triggered - a Questionnaire can guide a user through a data collection process that ensures appropriate information is collected based on answers to particular questions. However, Questionnaire doesn't provide support for capturing sets of information at different times or highly interactive data capture. Broader workflow is typically managed using PlanDefinition and Task or using other mechanisms such as CDSHooks."

      Existing Wording: As such, the Questionnaire resource provides a means to standardize the information gathering process (how information is captured), but not the actual information collected.

      Proposed Wording: Append: Complex Clincal Protocols may not be suitable to encode as questionairres due to the lack overaching workflow defintion

      Comment:

      Today we are outstripping the common usage of questionairre rapidly with increasingly complex design and channel utilization.
