CapabilityStatement for the EEHRxF Resource Consumer actor. This actor queries for clinical data resources following the International Patient Access (IPA) patterns and IHE QEDm Clinical Data Consumer capabilities.
This CapabilityStatement defines the requirements for systems consuming direct resource access (beyond document-based exchange) in the EU EHR Exchange Format (EEHRxF) ecosystem. It inherits patterns from:
Systems SHALL support SMART Backend Services authorization for all transactions.
Consumers SHOULD expect resources conforming to EU Core profiles where available.

json, xmlNote to Implementers: FHIR Capabilities
Any FHIR capability may be 'allowed' by the system unless explicitly marked as 'SHALL NOT'. A few items are marked as MAY in the Implementation Guide to highlight their potential relevance to the use case.
clientThe Resource Consumer actor queries for clinical data resources from a Resource Access Provider following IPA and QEDm patterns. This enables direct resource access complementing document-based exchange via MHD.
All transactions require SMART Backend Services authorization.
SMART-on-FHIRSMART Backend Services authorization is REQUIRED for all transactions. Systems SHALL:
- Authenticate using JWT client credentials (RFC 7523)
- Request appropriate scopes for resource access
- Use TLS 1.2 or higher for all communications
Required scopes to request:
- system/Patient.rs (search and read Patient)
- system/Condition.rs (search and read Condition)
- system/AllergyIntolerance.rs (search and read AllergyIntolerance)
- system/Observation.rs (search and read Observation)
- system/DiagnosticReport.rs (search and read DiagnosticReport)
- system/MedicationRequest.rs (search and read MedicationRequest)
- system/MedicationDispense.rs (search and read MedicationDispense)
- system/Encounter.rs (search and read Encounter)
- system/Practitioner.r (read Practitioner)
- system/Organization.r (read Organization)
The summary table lists the resources that are part of this configuration, and for each resource it lists:
