Implementation Notes

The operation does not perform a full conformance check; in particular it does not check that the profiles align. It merely checks that the behaviors the client wishes to use are provided Technically, this operation is implemented as follows: * The server's capability statement must have an entry for each resource in the client's capability statement * The servers' resource support must have matching flags for updateCreate, conditionalCreate, conditionalRead, conditionalUpdate, conditionalDelete, searchInclude, searchRevInclude * The server capability statement must have a matching interaction for each interaction in the client capability statement (whether or not it is on a resource) * The server must have a search parameter with matching name and definition for any search parameters in the client capability statement * The server must have an operation definitions with a matching reference for any operations in the client capability statement If the capability statements match by these rules, then the return value is a 200 OK with an operation outcome that contains no issues with severity >= error. If the capability statement doesn't match, the return value is a 4xx error, with an OperationOutcome with at least one issue with severity >= error
