The ACP Actor Consulter is a system role fulfilled by a consulting information system (e.g., GP Information System (HIS), Electronic Patient Record (EPD), Electronic Client Record (ECD)). It is responsible for initiating the transaction to retrieve Advance Care Planning (ACP) information.

In the Dutch functional design, this role is identified as PZPInformatieRaadplegendSysteem with the code PZP-PZPIR-FHIR. This code is a composite of the use case (PZP - Proactieve Zorgplanning), the system role (PZPIR - PZP Informatie Raadplegend) and the standard for information exchange (FHIR).

An ACP Actor Consulter:

• SHALL accept resources containing obligation-marked elements without error

• SHALL accept resources containing obligation-marked elements with missing data (e.g., usage of data-absent-reason extension) without error.

How the system processes the resource depends on local requirements that could align with obligation terms such as reject invalid, correctly handle, persist, display, or ignore.

The obligation-marked elements are specified in the ACP Actor Consulter obligation extension on the element definition.
