This is the base Capability Statement for FHIR. It represents a server that supports SMART on FHIR authorization for access, it declares support for automated discovery of OAuth2 endpoints in its CapabilityStatement using the OAuth Uri extension on the rest.security element (or, when using FHIR DSTU2, the Conformance.rest.security element). Any time a client sees this extension, it must be prepared to authorize using SMART’s OAuth2-based protocol.

None of the other functionality defined by FHIR is represented in this Capability Statement. It is provided to use as a template for system designers to build their own Capability Statements from. Since a capability statement has to contain something, this contains a read of a Capability Statement
