For individual and subject-list reports, the result is a set of Bundles, one for each evaluated subject, where the first entry in each bundle is a MeasureReport resource, and subsequent entries in the Bundle are resources evaluated or created as part of the measure evaluation. For the summary report, the result of this operation is a single bundle with a single MeasureReport of type summary. Note that whether or not this operation affects the state of the server depends on whether the server persists the generated MeasureReport.
