           search parameters, and operations that the client provides in its capability statement.
           The client provides its capability statement inline, or by referring the server to the
           canonical URL of its capability statement</p>

        <p> Technically, this operation is implemented as follows:
* The server's capability statement must have an entry for each resource in the client's
           capability statement
* The servers' resource support must have matching flags for updateCreate, conditionalCreate,
           conditionalRead, conditionalUpdate, conditionalDelete, searchInclude, searchRevInclude
* The server capability statement must have a matching interaction for each interaction
           in the client capability statement (whether or not it is on a resource)
* The server must have a search parameter with matching name and definition for any search
           parameters in the client capability statement
* The server must have an operation definitions with a matching reference for any operations
           in the client capability statement</p> 

        <p> If the capability statements match by these rules, then the return value is a 200 OK with
           an operation outcome that contains no issues with severity &gt;= error. If the capability
           statement doesn't match, the return value is a 4xx error, with an OperationOutcome with
           at least one issue with severity &gt;= error</p>
