        The submit-data operation is used to submit data-of-interest for a measure. There is no
           expectation that the submitted data represents all the data-of-interest, only that all
           the data submitted is relevant to the calculation of the measure for a particular subject
           or population

      
      
      
      
      
        
          
            
          
          
            
          
          
            
          
          
            
          
          
            
          
          
            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              

            
          
        
        
          
          
          
          
            
          
          
          
            
              

            
          
        
      
      
        The effect of invoking this operation is that the submitted data is posted to the receiving
           system and can be used for subsequent calculation of the relevant quality measure. The
           data-of-interest for a measure can be determined by examining the measure definition,
           or by invoking the $data-requirements operation

   for one or more subjects. Each submitted Bundle **SHOULD** contain resources for
   a single subject and **SHOULD** contain all of the MeasureReports and data of interest
   related to that subject. There is no expectation that the submitted data represents
   all the data-of-interest, only that all the data submitted is relevant to the calculation
   of the measure for a particular subject or population. The dataUpdateType element
   of the MeasureReport resource is used to indicate whether the data being submitted
   is a snapshot or incremental update. Additional guidance about data exchange for
   quality reporting can be found in the Data Exchange for Quality Measures implementation
   guide. Note that the use of the [X-Provenance header data](https://hl7.org/fhir/6.0.0-ballot3
  /provenance.html#header) with data that establishes provenance being submitted/collected
   **SHOULD** be supported. This provides the capability for associating the provider
   with the data submitted through the $submit-data transaction. If the X-Provenance
   header is used it should be consistent with the reporter element in the DEQM Data
   Exchange MeasureReport Profile. This operation is purposefully not allowed on a
   Measure instance because the MeasureReport included in the Bundle specifies the
   measure.\n\nNOTE: This operation is being deprecated in favor of just posting the
   bundles to the root of the server, either as collection or transaction bundles."/>
