      <p>This profile defines the expected capabilities of the 
        <i>SDC Form Filler</i> role when conforming to the S&amp;I Framework's 
        <a href="sdc.html">Structured Data Capture FHIR implementation guide</a>.  This role is responsible for retrieving pre-defined forms, requesting pre-population
         of forms and/or auto-populating forms, guiding the user through verifying populated data
         and submitting completed or partially-completed forms.
      </p>
      
      <p>Note that Form Fillers may also take on the role of 
        <a href="conformance-sdc-form-archiver.html">Form Archiver</a> if they have a requirement to retain the completed version of a form (and potentially
         the source data that was used to complete it).

      <p>The 
        <a href="../questionnaire.html">Questionnaire</a> and 
        <a href="../valueset.html">ValueSet</a> resources are retrieved to allow the system to guide the user through the entry process.
          The 
        <a href="../binary.html">Binary</a> and 
        <a href="../documentreference.html">DocumentReference</a> resources allow the system to find existing clinical documents that can be within the
         pre-population process.  (Support for retrieval operations on these resources is optional
         as the relevant CDA or FHIR structures may also be directly generated by the 
        <i>Form Filler</i> itself.)  Finally, the 
        <a href="../questionnaireresponse.html">QuestionnaireResponse</a> resource is used to record the populated form.
