Structured Data Capture (SDC) enables systems to retrieve, display, fill, and submit structured forms to a receiver.¹⁵ A user, such as a pathologist, requests a specific form to report on an invasive breast cancer case they are reviewing. The correct form is retrieved, and the user reviews and completes the form with all relevant data. The completed form can then be submitted to one or many receivers, who receive these data in the same format in which it was completed. The data can also be transformed into other formats such as a human readable patient report, cancer registry message, or ingested into a database as structured data.¹⁵
