"description" : "This operation is used to request the removal of all current and historical versions for all resources in a patient compartment or from a Group of patient compartments. The return is an OperationOutcome with results and/or details about execution.\r\rFollowing are some common `issue-type` values:\r- `success` the request has been completed to the server's satisfaction - the patient and associated resources are no longer accessible\r- `incomplete` the request is partially complete, but additional processing will continue (e.g., the server is continuing to clean out resources)\r\rWhen supported, it is recommended (though not required) to support an [Asynchronous Request Pattern](async.html).\r\rNote that the deletion of resources typically involves many policy decisions. Implementers are expected to use this operation in conjunction with their policies for such a request - e.g., soft vs. hard delete, audibility/traceability, evaluation of referential integrity, etc..",

Usage note: every effort has been made to ensure that the
examples are correct and useful, but they are not a normative part
of the specification.
