# 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.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://guides.ohie.org/arch-spec/dev-1/openhie-component-specifications-1/point-of-care-systems-new-section.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
