Evidence
The Evidence resource describes the conditional state (population and any exposures being compared within the population) and outcome (if specified) that the knowledge (evidence, assertion, recommendation) is about.
These interaction paths describe standard FHIR R4 patterns. Availability can depend on the API capabilities enabled for your Ovok project.
