Existing Wording: The SDC specification consists of the following components:

• SDC Profiles

• Pre-population Operation

• Conformance Statements

Proposed Wording: The SDC specification consists of the following components:

• SDC Profiles

• Form Population Modes:

– URI

– Pre-population Operation

– Auto-population Operation

• Conformance Statements

Comment:

This IG does not officially give definitions & requirements for the three different form population operations from the equivalent IHE SDC profile (FHIR SDC is missing auto-pop and URI, and a more thorough discussion of the differences of those operations). It cannot be an effective equivalent to that standard without explicit consideration for all of the major functional points, especially when they are so fundamental to the ways SDC can/will be used.
