http://fhir.org/guides/argonaut/questionnaire/OperationDefinition/next-question

The Argonaut Next Question Operation is used for adaptive questionnaires forms where the next question is based on previous answers. The result of this operation is to return the next question and optionally the questionnaire scoring for an adaptive questionnaire. This operation uses the QuestionnaireResponse resource with a contained Questionnaire as both the input and output parameter. The Client initiates and queries for the next question supplying the answer to the previous question. The Server updates the contained Questionnaire in the QuestionnaireResponse in the with the next question. When the questionnaire is complete, the Server updates the status element of the QuestionnaireResponse resource to completed. If the questionnaire has exceeded the time limit, the Client or Server may return an OperationOutcome with an error.
