      <p> OPERATION: Generate HTML for Questionnaire</p> 
      <p> The official URL for this operation definition is: </p> 
      <pre> http://hl7.org/fhir/OperationDefinition/Questionnaire-populatehtml</pre> 
      <div> 
        <p> Generates an HTML page as a 
          <a href="binary.html">Binary</a>  instance  based on a specified 
          <a href="questionnaire.html">Questionnaire</a> , filling in answers to questions where possible based on information provided as part
           of the operation or already known by the server about the subject of the 
          <a href="questionnaire.html">Questionnaire</a> .
        </p> 

        <p> If the operation is not called at the instance level, one and only one of the identifier,
           questionnaire or questionnaireRef 'in' parameters must be provided. If called at the instance
           level, these parameters will be ignored.</p> 

        <p> The response will contain a 
          <a href="binary.html">Binary</a>  instance containing an HTML page for filling in and submitting the specified 
          <a href="questionnaire.html">Questionnaire</a>  and/or an 
          <a href="operationoutcome.html">OperationOutcome</a>  resource with errors or warnings.
        </p> 

        <p> The generated HTML form instance will be populated with an unanswered set of questions
           following the group and question structure of the specified 
          <a href="questionnaire.html">Questionnaire</a> .  If  
          <em> content</em>  parameters were specified or the 
          <em> local</em>  parameter was set to true, some of the questions may have answers filled in as well.
            In the case of repeating questions or groups, typically only one repetition will be provided
           unless answer values exist that would support populating multiple repetitions.
        </p> 

        <p> Population of the HTML form with appropriate data is dependent on the questions and/or
           groups in the 
          <a href="questionnaire.html">Questionnaire</a>  having metadata that allows the server to recognize the questions, e.g. through Questionnaire.item.
          definition or through use of the 
          <a href="conceptmap.html">ConceptMap</a>  resource.
        </p> 

        <p> Regardless of the mechanism used to link the questions in a questionnaire to a &quot;known&quot;
           mappable concept, solutions using this operation should ensure that the details of the
           question and associated linkage element are sufficiently similar as to safely allow auto-population;
           i.e. the question text and context must be sufficiently the same, the value set for the
           question must fall within the value set for the mapped element, the data types must be
           the same or convertible, etc.</p>

        <p> While it is theoretically possible for an HTML form to be completely auto-populated and

           constraints.  This may cause questions to be answered that should not be answered.  The

           identifiable healthcare information to the system which is performing the population process.
            No such disclosures should be made unless the system on which the operation is being
           invoked is a &quot;trusted&quot; system and appropriate agreements are in place to protect
           the confidentiality of any information shared with that system.</p>
