The apply operation applies a definition in a specific context
URL: [base]/ActivityDefinition/$apply
URL: [base]/ActivityDefinition/[id]/$apply
Parameters
Use | Name | Cardinality | Type | Binding | Documentation |
IN | activityDefinition | 0..1 | ActivityDefinition | The activity definition to apply. If the operation is invoked on an instance, this parameter is not allowed. If the operation is invoked at the type level, this parameter is required | |
IN | patient | 1..1 | string (reference) | The patient that is the target of the activity to be applied | |
IN | encounter | 0..1 | string (reference) | The encounter in context, if any | |
IN | practitioner | 0..1 | string (reference) | The practitioner in context | |
IN | organization | 0..1 | string (reference) | The organization in context | |

IN | settingContext | 0..1 | CodeableConcept | Additional detail about the setting of the request, if any | |
OUT | return | 1..1 | Any | The resource that is the result of applying the definition |
The result of invoking this operation is a resource of the type specified by the activity definition, with all the definitions resolved as appropriate for the type of resource. Any dynamicValue elements will be evaluated (in the order in which they appear in the resource) and the results applied to the returned resource. If the ActivityDefinition includes library references, those libraries will be available to the evaluated expressions. If those libraries have parameters, those parameters will be bound by name to the parameters given to the operation. For a more detailed description, refer to the ActivityDefinition resource
Usage note: every effort has been made to ensure that the examples are correct and useful, but they are not a normative part of the specification.
