This case-sensitive code system http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/sdc/CodeSystem/launchContext defines the following codes:

study ResearchStudy ResearchStudy in context at launch time (FHIR ResearchStudy resource). There can be at most 1 resource passed in for this context.
clinical Clinical Indicates the current clinical resource being manipulated or reviewed by the user launching the Questionnaire. Common uses included 'current diagnostic report', 'current diagnostic image', 'current order', etc. In a situation where multiple clinical resources are being reviewed simultaneously, there could be multiple resources passed in as context. (i.e. the 'clinical' variable set in the FHIRPath engine will be a collection.)
