# Support for FHIR Structured Data Capture

The following is a terse listing of our support for the Structured Data Capture
(SDC) FHIR Implementation Guide.  For more details about the items listed here,
see:  https://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/sdc/index.html

For the expression extensions mentioned below, we do not support CQL, but do
support FHIRPath and x-fhir-query where appropriate for the extension.

The following lists are organized by the sections of the SDC implementation
guide (IG).
