      <p>OPERATION: Fetch Patient Record</p>
      <div>
        <p>This operation is used to return all the information related to the patient described
           in the resource on which this operation is invoked. The response is a bundle of type &quot;searchset
          &quot;. At a minimum, the patient resource itself is returned, along with any other resources
           that the server has that are related to the patient, and that are available for the given
           user. The server also returns whatever resources are needed to support the records - e.g.
           linked practitioners, medications, locations, organizations etc. The principle intended
           use for this operation is to provide a patient with access to their entire record (e.g.
           &quot;Blue Button&quot;).  The server SHOULD return at least all resources that it has
           that are in the patient compartment for the identified patient, and any resource referenced
           from those, including binaries and attachments. In the US Realm, at a mimimum, the resources
           returned SHALL include all the data covered by the meaningful use common data elements
           as defined in 
          <a href="daf/daf.html">DAF</a>. Other applicable implementation guides may make additional rules about how much information
           that is returned

        <p>It is assumed that the server has identified and secured the context appropriately, and
           can either associate the authorization context with a single patient, or determine whether
           the context has the rights to the nominated patient, if there is one. If there is no nominated
           patient (e.g. the operation is invoked at the system level) and the context is not associated
           with a single patient record, then the server should return an error. Specifying the relationship
           between the context, a user and patient records is outside the scope of this specification.</p>
