        <p> The effect of invoking this operation is to calculate the measure for the given
           subject(s), or all subjects if no subject is supplied. For individual and subject-list
           reports, the result is a set of Bundles, one for each evaluated subject, where
           the first entry in each bundle is a MeasureReport resource, and subsequent entries
           in the Bundle are resources evaluated or created as part of the measure evaluation.
           For the summary report, the result of this operation is a single bundle with a
           single MeasureReport of type summary. Note that whether or not this operation affects
           the state of the server depends on whether the server persists the generated MeasureReport.
           If the MeasureReport is not persisted, this operation can be invoked with GET</p>

    <documentation value="The results of the measure calculation. The result of this operation will be a
     Bundle for each input subject, where the first entry of the Bundle is a MeasureReport
     representing the results of the calculation, and subsequent entries in the Bundle
     are resources created and/or evaluated as part of the calculation. See the MeasureReport
     resource for a complete description of the output of this operation. Note that
     implementations may choose to return a MeasureReport with a status of pending to
     indicate that the report is still being generated. In this case, the client can
     use a polling method to continually request the MeasureReport until the status
     is updated to complete"/>
