Topic: Single input parameter for operations

Hello,
I was wondering if it would make sense in cases where there is only one input parameter for an operation, and that input parameter is a FHIR resource, then it can just be submitted in the request body for REST operations instead of wrapping it inside a Parameters resource. In describing this in the CapabilityStatement, we can use a special parameter name to mark this special case. It would be similar to using "return" as the output parameter name to indicate that the resource will be returned in the response body.
Trying to get some thoughts on this, and if it seems reasonable, then propose it for some release of FHIR (not sure how to do that though).

The process to make this happen is to submit a change request - use the "propose a change" link at the bottom of the spec. (And post here with the tracker number once that's done :))

Thanks, created as #13448

this is already the case - no need for any change

I thought it was, but couldn't find it. Thanks Grahame
