      Replace with this text:

      If the EHR has the capability to render a QuestionnaireResponse, it SHOULD persist the QuestionnaireResponse as part of the patient record. If EHR does not have ability to render the QuestionnaireResponse, then the EHR should support saving the QuestionnaireResponse information as PDF or other supported structure.

    Description

      Existing Wording: This is an area the project is explicitly seeking comments on. Please provide any details on constraints that should be applied to the document generation process.

      Comment:

      Overall, transforming discrete, LOINC-encoding pieces of data carefully gathered into a PDF dumping into an EHR is a poor practice and makes the data gathered unuseable by clinical decision support and for answereing the exact same form the next time the exact same questionnaire is prsented.

      Summary:

      PDFs aren't interoperable.
