"..Using Questionnaire as a means of primary data exchange means you're using FHIR as a transport for custom data structures" from this stream https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/implementers/subject/Birth.20notice

Isn't that what SDC is, in essence, doing? Or am I missing something?
Lloyd McKenzie (Apr 11 2016 at 15:42):
With SDC, questionnaires are still intended for a specific consumer - a specific clinical study, a specific governmental organization, a specific payor. They don't provide any general level of interoperability. SDC does add some extensions to make it easier to populate data into questionnaires. In principle, I suppose it could also make it easier to extract that data, but it'd be clunky. You'd still have trouble discovering the right questionnaire responses and you'd be reliant on systems making use of extensions as it's not a "standard" (read 'common') set of behavior for systems that support questionnaires.
