Actors

PS-CA defines two primary actors, Consumer and the Producer, for exchanging FHIR data and events.

• Producer A health records system (e.g., EMR, HIS, CIS, PHR, or EHR) that creates/produces a clinical document (e.g. PS-CA) in response to a request from an authorized health care provider, the subject of care or another authorized health records system.
• Consumer A health records system (e.g., EMR, HIS, CIS, PHR, Patient Portal or EHR) that enables access to or receipt of a clinical document (e.g. PS-CA) by an authorized health care provider or the subject of care/patient.
