For more information about operations, including how they are invoked, see Operations.

Formal Definition (as a OperationDefinition).

URL: [base]/ActivityDefinition/[id]/$apply

In Parameters:

patient1..1Reference(Patient)

The patient that is the target of the activity to be applied

encounter0..1Reference(Encounter)

The encounter in context, if any

practitioner0..1Reference(Practitioner)

The practitioner in context

organization0..1Reference(Organization)

The organization in context

userType0..1CodeableConcept

The type of user initiating the request, e.g. patient, healthcare provider, or specific type of healthcare provider (physician, nurse, etc.)

Out Parameters:
NameCardinalityTypeBindingProfileDocumentation
return1..1Any

The resource that is the result of applying the definition

 

14.1.10.2 Data Requirements

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:
NameCardinalityTypeBindingProfileDocumentation
return1..1Library

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)
