Topic: CDS $evaluate operation

Josh Mandel (Aug 10 2016 at 13:48):

In the CDS on FHIR $evaluation operation, a Patient reference is listed as:

patient 0..1    Reference(Patient) The patient in context, if any

but in the example, we see an embedded Patient resource (not a reference):

  <parameter>
    <name value="patient"/>
    <resource>
      <Patient>
        <id value="example"/>
        ... etc

is this a mistake, or do operations allow "reference or content" in this way?

Grahame Grieve (Aug 10 2016 at 20:15):

it is a mistake, yes. But operations do allow both. It's just that it's specified as a reference in the definition, not content
