The result will be an OperationOutcome with results and/or details about execution. Following are some common `issue-type` values: - `success` the request has been completed to the server's satisfaction - the patient and associated resources are no longer accessible - `incomplete` the request is partially complete, but additional processing will continue (e.g., the server is continuing to clean out resources) When supported, it is recommended (though not required) to support an [Asynchronous Request Pattern](async.html). Note 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."/> <jurisdiction> <coding> <system value="http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49.htm"/> <code value="001"/> <display value="World"/> </coding> </jurisdiction> <affectsState value="false"/> <code value="purge"/> <resource value="Group"/> <system value="false"/> <type value="false"/> <instance value="true"/> <parameter> <name value="return"/> <use value="out"/> <min value="0"/> <max value="1"/> <documentation value="Status and/or results of the purge request"/> <type value="OperationOutcome"/> </parameter> </OperationDefinition>
