# Point-Of-Care Systems

A core [Architectural Principle](https://guides.ohie.org/arch-spec/dev-1/architecture-specification/architectural-principles) of OpenHIE is to design the components to be interchangeable. To support this, the [Standards and Profiles](https://guides.ohie.org/arch-spec/dev-1/architecture-specification/standards-and-profiles) used by Point-of-Care Systems are outlined in the workflows below. Implementations may choose to only the workflows needed to support their use case, however, consider support for each of these during software selection processes.
