      Background:

      The Commenter is referring to following documentation:

      Discovering Note and Report Types

      The note and report types for a particular server are discovered by invoking the #expand operation as follows:

      GET [base]/ValueSet/$expand?context=[context]&contextDirection=[contextDirection]

      where:

      • [contextDirection]incoming for write operations and outgoing for read operations.
      • [context]DiagnosticReport.category for DiagnosticReport report category discovery, DiagnosticReport.code for DiagnosticReport report type discovery, DocumentReference.category for DocumentReference note category discovery, DocumentReference.type for DocumentReference note type discovery.

      Examples

      Click on Here To See Scenario 1 Example
      A client determines the types of reports they can access through DiagnosticReport. The server responds with ‘foo’,’bar’ ,and ‘baz’ report types:

      Request for DiagnosticReport report type
       GET [base]/ValueSet/$expand?context=DiagnosticReport.codes&contextDirection=incoming
      Response ...

       

      Reasoning:

      We agree with commenter. This an editorial error.
       

      Proposed Changes:

       

      Change:

      GET [base]/ValueSet/$expand?context=DiagnosticReport.codes&contextDirection=incoming

      To:

      GET [base]/ValueSet/$expand?context=DiagnosticReport.codes&contextDirection=outgoing

    Description

      Example 1 says: "A client determines the types of reports they can access through DiagnosticReport. The server responds with 'foo','bar' ,and 'baz' report types:"

      The query example shows

      GET [base]/ValueSet/$expand?context=DiagnosticReport.codes&contextDirection=incoming
      

      According to $expand operation (http://build.fhir.org/valueset-operation-expand.html)

      'incoming': the codes a client can use for PUT/POST operations, and
      'outgoing', the codes a client might receive from the server.

      Since the example is what client can access, the value of contextDirection should be *outgoin*g
