PlanDefinition

This resource allows for the definition of various types of plans as a sharable, consumable, and executable artifact. The resource is general enough to support the description of a broad range of clinical artifacts such as clinical decision support rules, order sets and protocols.

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