These tasks MAY be further defined by applicable content profiles or implementation guides, and MAY include:\n* Generation of new documents in real time;\n* Querying for existing documents (e.g., IPS, CDA, FHIR Bundles) associated with the VHL Holder; or\n* Creation of digital signatures on one or more documents.\n\nOnce content preparation is complete, the Sharer SHALL construct the VHL payload and sign it to produce a cryptographically verifiable authorization mechanism.\n\n**Optional behaviors:**\n* The Sharer MAY record consent in accordance with the [Record Consent](Requirements-RecordConsent.html) requirement.\n* The Sharer MAY log an audit event describing the VHL issuance, in accordance with the [Audit Event – Accessed Health Data](Requirements-AuditEventAccess.html) requirement."] ; #
