CapabilityStatement for the grouped EEHRxF Document Publisher and Document Access Provider actors. This represents a deployment where document production and access provision are co-located in the same system.

Deployment Pattern

This CapabilityStatement applies when:

• An EHR system both produces documents AND provides access to them
• Document publication is handled internally
• External clients only need to query and retrieve documents

In this grouped deployment, document publication is internal to the system and not exposed externally. The external API provides only document discovery (ITI-67) and retrieval (ITI-68) capabilities.

Actor Grouping

This grouped actor combines:

• Document Publisher (internal) - Produces and stores documents internally
• Document Access Provider (external-facing) - Serves documents to Document Consumers

The underlying IHE actors are:

• IUA Authorization Server
• IUA Resource Server
• PDQm Patient Demographics Supplier
• MHD Document Responder

Note: MHD Document Recipient is not listed because publication is internal.

External Transactions

ITI-68 Retrieve Document	Serve document content to Document Consumers	R
ITI-78 Patient Demographics Query	Respond to patient demographics queries	R
Get Access Token	Issue authorization tokens to clients	R

Security

When to Use This CapabilityStatement

Use this CapabilityStatement when implementing:

• Hospital EHR systems that produce and serve their own documents
• Regional health information exchanges with integrated document repositories
• Any system where document creation and access are tightly coupled

For systems that need to receive documents from external sources, use the Document Access Provider with Document Submission Option.
