0. Parameters
Definition	This resource is a non-persisted resource used to pass information into and back from an operation. It has no other use, and there is no RESTful endpoint associated with it.
Short	Operation Request or Response
Comments	The parameters that may be used are defined by the OperationDefinition resource.
Control	0..*
Is Modifier	false
Summary	false
2. Parameters.implicitRules
Definition	A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.
Short	A set of rules under which this content was created
Comments	Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.
Control	0..01
Type	uri
Is Modifier	true because This element is labeled as a modifier because the implicit rules may provide additional knowledge about the resource that modifies it's meaning or interpretation
Primitive Value	This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension
Summary	true
Invariants	ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count()))
4. Parameters.parameter
Definition	A parameter passed to or received from the operation.
Short	Operation Parameter
Control	10..3*
Type	BackboneElement
Is Modifier	false
Summary	true
Invariants	ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) inv-1: A parameter must have one and only one of (value, resource, part) (`(part.exists() and value.empty() and resource.empty()) or (part.empty() and (value.exists() xor resource.exists()))`) inv-1: A parameter must have one and only one of (value, resource, part) ((part.exists() and value.empty() and resource.empty()) or (part.empty() and (value.exists() xor resource.exists())))
Slicing	This element introduces a set of slices on `Parameters.parameter`. The slices are unordered and Closed, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators: value @ name
6. Parameters.parameter.modifierExtension
Definition	An Extension May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).
Short	ExtensionExtensions that cannot be ignored even if unrecognized
Comments	There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.
Control	0..0*
Type	Extension
Is Modifier	true because Modifier extensions are expected to modify the meaning or interpretation of the element that contains them
Summary	true
Requirements	Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.
Alternate Names	extensions, user content, modifiers
Invariants	ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (extension.exists() != value.exists())
8. Parameters.parameter.name
Definition	The name of the parameter (reference to the operation definition).
Short	Name from the definition
Control	1..1
Type	string
Is Modifier	false
Primitive Value	This primitive element may be present, or absent, or replaced by an extension
Summary	true

10. Parameters.parameter:resource

12. Parameters.parameter:resource.modifierExtension
Definition	An Extension May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants.

0. Parameters

Definition

This resource is a non-persisted resource used to pass information into and back from an operation. It has no other use, and there is no RESTful endpoint associated with it.

Short Operation Request or Response

Comments

The parameters that may be used are defined by the OperationDefinition resource.

Control 0..*

Is Modifier false

Summary false

2. Parameters.id

Definition

The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes.

Short Logical id of this artifact

Comments

The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation.

Control 0..1
