    Maturity level: FMM5 (Normative)

    • Method Detail

      • getUrl

        public Uri getUrl()
        An absolute URI that is used to identify this operation definition when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or an instance; also called its canonical identifier. This SHOULD be globally unique and SHOULD be a literal address at which at which an authoritative instance of this operation definition is (or will be) published. This URL can be the target of a canonical reference. It SHALL remain the same when the operation definition is stored on different servers.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Uri that may be null.
      • getVersion

        public String getVersion()
        The identifier that is used to identify this version of the operation definition when it is referenced in a specification, model, design or instance. This is an arbitrary value managed by the operation definition author and is not expected to be globally unique. For example, it might be a timestamp (e.g. yyyymmdd) if a managed version is not available. There is also no expectation that versions can be placed in a lexicographical sequence.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type String that may be null.
      • getName

        public String getName()
        A natural language name identifying the operation definition. This name should be usable as an identifier for the module by machine processing applications such as code generation.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type String that is non-null.
      • getTitle

        public String getTitle()
        A short, descriptive, user-friendly title for the operation definition.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type String that may be null.
      • getStatus

        public PublicationStatus getStatus()
        The status of this operation definition. Enables tracking the life-cycle of the content.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type PublicationStatus that is non-null.
      • getKind

        public OperationKind getKind()
        Whether this is an operation or a named query.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type OperationKind that is non-null.
      • getExperimental

        public Boolean getExperimental()
        A Boolean value to indicate that this operation definition is authored for testing purposes (or education/evaluation/marketing) and is not intended to be used for genuine usage.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type Boolean that may be null.
      • getDate

        public DateTime getDate()
        The date (and optionally time) when the operation definition was published. The date must change when the business version changes and it must change if the status code changes. In addition, it should change when the substantive content of the operation definition changes.
        Returns:
        An immutable object of type DateTime that may be null.
      • getPublisher

        public String getPublisher()

      • getUseContext

        public java.util.List<UsageContext> getUseContext()
        The content was developed with a focus and intent of supporting the contexts that are listed. These contexts may be general categories (gender, age, ...) or may be references to specific programs (insurance plans, studies, ...) and may be used to assist with indexing and searching for appropriate operation definition instances.
        Returns:
        An unmodifiable list containing immutable objects of type UsageContext that may be empty.
      • getJurisdiction

        public java.util.List<CodeableConcept> getJurisdiction()
