Overview
The history operation retrieves the history of either a particular resource, all resources of a given type, or all resources supported by the system. The operation is performed by HTTP GET command. See the FHIR documentation http://hl7.org/fhir/http.html#history for more details.

The result of the history operation is a Bundle with type history containing the specified version history, sorted with newest versions first, and including deleted resources.
The request element provides information about the interaction that occurred and caused the new version of the resource.
Only operations create, update, and delete create history entries. Conditional creates, updates and deletes are converted to direct updates and deletes in a history list.
