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.
