Overview

The OperationDefinition resource defines an operation. This includes the inputs, outputs, description, and other items necessary to actually execute the operation.

This resource only exposes the custom operations our server defines (group-export and patient-export). While the Health Level Seven (HL7) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) specification also supports describing named queries with this resource, Oracle Cerner currently does not support any custom-named queries.
