The Author provides demographic information on the author(s) of the document, as well
as the software system used to create the document. The Author is the primary care
provider who is responsible for composing the document. A document may not be edited
and forwarded under the previous author’s name. The author will always be the person
who last edited the document. If a delegate sends a document on behalf of another
care provider the clinically responsible person’s information will appear in the author
information. Note that the custodian, not the author,
represents the organization from which the document originates and that is in charge
of maintaining the document. Author information also describes the source system that
composed the document. The Author MAY occur twice: once for human author information
and once for source system information.
