  notes: >-
    The PKB FHIR API is secured with OAuth 2.0. Partner/system integrations
    use the client-credentials (system-to-system) workflow to obtain a
    bearer access token, which is presented on each FHIR request. OAuth 2.0
    support was released April 2020 with further enhancements June 2020. The
    published FHIR CapabilityStatement does not enumerate an oauth2 security
    scheme block, so token and authorization endpoints are provisioned per
    integrating organisation rather than advertised in metadata.
