This resource has 2 operations associated with it:
$apply | Apply |
$data-requirements | Data Requirements |
For more information about operations, including how they are invoked, see Operations.
The apply operation realizes a definition in a specific context
Formal Definition (as a OperationDefinition).
URL: [base]/ActivityDefinition/[id]/$apply
In Parameters: | |||||
Name | Cardinality | Type | Binding | Profile | Documentation |
patient | 1..1 | Reference(Patient) | The patient that is the target of the activity to be applied | ||
encounter | 0..1 | Reference(Encounter) | The encounter in context, if any | ||
practitioner | 0..1 | Reference(Practitioner) | The practitioner in context | ||
organization | 0..1 | Reference(Organization) | The organization in context | ||
userType | 0..1 | CodeableConcept | The type of user initiating the request, e.g. patient, healthcare provider, or specific type of healthcare provider (physician, nurse, etc.) | ||
userLanguage | 0..1 | CodeableConcept | Preferred language of the person using the system | ||
userTaskContext | 0..1 | CodeableConcept | The task the system user is performing, e.g. laboratory results review, medication list review, etc. This information can be used to tailor decision support outputs, such as recommended information resources | ||
setting | 0..1 | CodeableConcept | The current setting of the request (inpatient, outpatient, etc) | ||

Out Parameters: | |||||
Name | Cardinality | Type | Binding | Profile | Documentation |
return | 1..1 | Any | The resource that is the result of applying the definition |
The data-requirements operation aggregates and returns the parameters and data requirements for the activity definition and all its dependencies as a single module definition library
Formal Definition (as a OperationDefinition).
URL: [base]/ActivityDefinition/[id]/$data-requirements
Out Parameters: | |||||
Name | Cardinality | Type | Binding | Profile | Documentation |
return | 1..1 | Library | The result of the requirements gathering Note: as this the only out parameter, it is a resource, and it has the name 'return', the result of this operation is returned directly as a resource |
The effect of invoking this operation is to determine the aggregate set of data requirements and dependencies for the activity definition. The result is a Library resource with a type of module-definition that contains all the parameter definitions and data requirements of the activity definition and any libraries referenced by it. Implementations SHOULD aggregate data requirements intelligently (i.e. by collapsing overlapping data requirements)
