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="Patient"/><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>
