Full Title

The format of the document sent from a Identity Proofing Credential Service Provider to the device where the credential is stored.

Context

• When a patient has gone through [Identity Proofing]] and is "known to the practice", the Patient Credential can be installed on the patient's Device to allow IAL2 level of assurance authentication to access their PHI at the EHR.
• Note that the Identifier of the issuer will be the practice, but the Identifier of the holder of the EHR may be different.
