Endpoint

The technical details of an endpoint that can be used for electronic services, such as for web services providing XDS.b or a REST endpoint for another FHIR server. This may include any security context information.

These interaction paths describe standard FHIR R4 patterns. Availability can depend on the API capabilities enabled for your Ovok project.
