CodeSystem Code Composition

Overview
Given a set of properties, return one or more possible matching codes. For more details see official FHIR terminology documentation CodeSystem Code Composition​
$compose may return  3 possible types of match
complete match - a code that represents all the provided properties correctly
partial match - a code that represents some of the provided properties correctly, and not others
possible match - code that may represent the provided properties closely,
When send exact parameter is true - $compose operation return only complete and partial matches. When exact is false - $compose include in to response possible matches. Default value is true, that means, that by default returning only complete and partial matches.
