Actor: Server | Server (IPS) | Type: system
An IPS Server is a FHIR server acting as an IPS Creator by providing conformant IPS documents in response to FHIR API requests. The IPS documents provided by an IPS Server may include stored and/or generated on demand document content, including historical and/or latest available information. The set of capabilities and behaviours for the IPS Server actor is defined in IPS Server Capability Statement. While an IPS Server actor will fulfill all the obligations of an IPS Creator actor, not all IPS Creator actors need to meet the capabilities defined in the IPS Server Capability Statement.
