<li>Export data from a FHIR server whether or not it is associated with a patient. This supports use cases like backing up a server or exporting terminology data by restricting the resources returned using the _type parameter.</li>
<li>Obtain data on all patients listed in a single FHIR Group Resource. If a FHIR server supports Group-level data export, it SHOULD support reading and searching for Group resource.

For example, a payer may send a healthcare institution a roster file that can be imported into their EHR to create or update a FHIR group. Group membership could be based upon explicit attributes of the patient, such as: age, sex or a particular condition such as PTSD or Chronic Opioid use, or on more complex attributes, such as a recent inpatient discharge or membership in the population used to calculate a quality measure.
