description: This Section describes the expected capabilities of the US Core Server actor which is responsible for providing responses to the queries submitted by the US Core Requestors. The complete list of FHIR profiles, RESTful operations, and search parameters supported by US Core Servers are defined. Systems implementing this capability statement should meet the ONC 2015 Common Clinical Data Set (CCDS) access requirement for Patient Selection 170.315(g)(7) and Application Access - Data Category Request 170.315(g)(8) and the ONC [U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) Version 4 July 2023](https://www.healthit.gov/sites/isa/files/2023-07/Final-USCDI-Version-4-July-2023-Final.pdf).
