<description
value="CapabilityStatement for the EEHRxF Document Consumer actor. This composite actor
consumes EEHRxF FHIR Documents by querying a Document Access Provider.
### Actor Grouping
This composite actor groups the following IHE actors:
- [IUA Authorization Client](https://profiles.ihe.net/ITI/IUA/index.html#34111-authorization-client)
- [PDQm Patient Demographics Consumer](https://profiles.ihe.net/ITI/PDQm/volume-1.html)
- [MHD Document Consumer](https://profiles.ihe.net/ITI/MHD/1331_actors_and_transactions.html)
### Transactions
| Transaction | Description | Optionality |
|-------------|-------------|-------------|
| ITI-67 Find Document References | Query for document metadata from Document Access Provider | R |
| ITI-68 Retrieve Document | Retrieve document content from Document Access Provider | R |
| ITI-78 Patient Demographics Query | Query for patient demographics to establish patient context | R |
| Get Access Token | Obtain authorization token for API access | R |
