{description: 'This operation returns an IPS document in response to a POST/GET request (see [FHIR Operations](https://hl7.org/fhir/operations.html)).  The returned document MAY be generated on-demand and SHOULD represent the latest available information. This operation would not necessarily create a persisted IPS instance on the server responding to the request. When historic records or other documents are desired, this operation is not appropriate. For alternative operations and IPS generation guidance, please see [IPS Generation and Data Inclusion](./Generation-and-Data-Inclusion.html) \n\nGenerally when a patient''s logical id is known, that id would be used to request the patient summary from a FHIR server (see [id] pattern below). When it is not known, servers MAY support using other identifiers (see identifier parameter below). When [base]/Patient/$summary is used, requestors SHALL provide an identifier.\n\nServers MAY support profiles beyond the IPS. When supported, other profiles can be specified using the profile parameter. When not supported, servers MAY use the universal IPS Composition profile to identify what profile is returned by default.  \n', package_name: hl7.fhir.uv.ips, name: IpsSummary, type: 'true', package_version: 2.0.0, class: operation, kind: operation, url: 'http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/OperationDefinition/summary', version: 2.0.0}
