The following actor definitions define the actor roles that a system can implement for AU Patient Summary.

* [AU PS Consumer actor](ActorDefinition-au-ps-actor-consumer.md)

An AU PS Consumer is a system that receives an AU PS Bundle and uses it to display or process patient summary content. This actor is based on the [Consumer (IPS)](https://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/2.0.1/en/ActorDefinition-Consumer.html) actor, and describes the additional requirements and documentation applied for the Australian context.

* [AU PS Producer actor](ActorDefinition-au-ps-actor-producer.md)

An AU PS Producer is a system that creates or assembles an AU PS Bundle through automated generation or human curation of the patient summary content. This actor is based on the [Creator (IPS)](https://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/2.0.1/en/ActorDefinition-Creator.html) actor, and describes the additional requirements and documentation applied for the Australian context.
