        <p> The key difference between this operation and simply searching the patient compartment

        <p> It is assumed that the server has identified and secured the context appropriately,
           and can either associate the authorization context with a single patient, or determine
           whether the context has the rights to the nominated patient, if there is one, or
           can determine an appropriate list of patients to provide data for from the context
           of the request.   If there is no nominated patient (GET /[base]/Patient/$everything)
           and the context is not associated with a single patient record, the actual list
           of patients is all patients that the user associated with the request has access
           to. This may be all patients in the family that the patient has access to, or it
           may be all patients that a care provider has access to, or all patients on the
           entire record system. In such cases, the server may choose to return an error rather
           than all the records.  Specifying the relationship between the context, a user
           and patient records is outside the scope of this specification (though see 
          <a href="http://hl7.org/fhir/smart-app-launch">The SMART App Launch Implementation Guide</a> ).
        </p> 

        <p> When this operation is used to access multiple patient records at once, the return
           bundle could be rather a lot of data; servers may choose to require that such requests
           are made 
          <a href="async.html">asynchronously</a> , and associated with 
          <a href="resource-formats.html#bulk">bulk data formats</a> . Alternatively, clients may choose to page through the result set (or servers
           may require this). Paging through the results is done the same as for 
          <a href="http.html#paging">Searching</a> , using the 
          <a href="search.html#count">_count</a>  parameter, and Bundle links.

          <em> There is no defined order for the results of 
            <code> $everything</code> 
          </em> . Servers MAY consider sorting the returned resources in descending order of last
           record update.
        </p> 

        <p> The _since parameter is provided to support periodic queries to get additional
           information that has changed about the patient since the last query. This means
           that the _since parameter is based on record time. The value of the _since parameter
           should be set to the time from the server. If using direct response, this is the
           timestamp in the response header. If using the async interface, this is the transaction
           timestamp in the json response. Servers should ensure that the timestamps a managed
           such that the client does not miss any changes. Clients should be able to handle
           getting the same response more than once in the case that the transaction falls
           on a time boundary. Clients should ensure that the other query parameters are constant
           to ensure a coherent set of records when doing periodic queries.</p>

  <description value="This operation is used to return all the information related to one or more patients
   described in the resource or context on which this operation is invoked. The response
   is a bundle of type &quot;searchset&quot;. At a minimum, the patient resource(s)
   itself is returned, along with any other resources that the server has that are
   related to the patient(s), and that are available for the given user. The server
   also returns whatever resources are needed to support the records - e.g. linked
   practitioners, medications, locations, organizations etc.   

The intended use for this operation is to provide a patient with access to their
   entire record (e.g. &quot;Blue Button&quot;), or for provider or other user to
   perform a bulk data download.  The server SHOULD return at least all resources
   that it has that are in the patient compartment for the identified patient(s),
   and any resource referenced from those, including binaries and attachments. The
   server SHOULD resolve version-specific references by returning the explicitly named
   version. Implementation guides may make additional rules about how much information
   that is returned."/>

When this operation is used to access multiple patient records at once, the return
   bundle could be rather a lot of data; servers may choose to require that such requests
   are made [asynchronously](async.html), and associated with [bulk data formats](resource-forma
  ts.html#bulk). Alternatively, clients may choose to page through the result set
   (or servers may require this). Paging through the results is done the same as for
   [Searching](http.html#paging), using the [_count](search.html#count) parameter,
   and Bundle links. 
_There is no defined order for the results of `$everything`_. Servers MAY consider
