  <description
               value="This operation counts the number of material assignments (``ehealth-material-communication resources``) for a given ``ehealth-documentreference`` from the Plan service. This is done by performing an internal search using the given ehealth-documentReference, date and status parameters. Regardless of the given parameters, only ``ehealth-material-communication`` resources referring to an active ``ehealth-episodeofcare`` are counted. The group-by-careteam parameter determines whether a simple '_summary=count' search is performed or if all results should be fetched to extract and count based on participant CareTeam references.

## Input
The operation has two mandatory input parameters:
 - An EHealthDocumentReference reference
 - One or more status codes

Additionally, there are two optional input parameters:
 - A boolean indicating whether to group the result by participant CareTeam references
 - A date parameter

### EHealthDocumentReference reference
A mandatory reference to an EHealthDocumentReference (general-material) in the plan service. Only ``ehealth-material-communication`` resources with the given reference in ``Communication.payload.content`` are counted.

### Group-by-careTeam boolean
The group-by-careTeam parameter is optional. When not supplied by the user, it is assumed false. When it is set to true, the operation returns a count per CareTeam referenced as a participant in the matching ehealth-material-communication resources.

### Date
The date parameter is optional, however, the count is always filtered by a date. If one is not given by the user, the date of execution is used instead. Only ``ehealth-material-communication`` resources whose ``Communication.period`` contains the used date are counted.

### Status code list
At least one ``status`` code must be supplied by the user. Only ``ehealth-material-communications`` with one of the supplied status codes in ``Communication.status`` will be counted.

## Output
When supplied with valid inputs, the operation will return a Bundle resource with a single Parameters resource in its ``Bundle.entry`` list. The Parameters resource format depends on whether the group-by-careTeam parameter was true.

### Output Parameters
If group-by-careTeam was false or not present. The Parameters resource will only contain a single parameter, named ``total`` with the value being the count of the ``ehealth-material-communication`` resources found to satisfy the given parameters.

Example of output with group-by-careTeam as false or not present:
```
&quot;resource&quot;: {
    &quot;resourceType&quot;: &quot;Parameters&quot;,
    &quot;parameter&quot;: [{
            &quot;name&quot;: &quot;total&quot;,
            &quot;valueInteger&quot;: 42
            }]
    }]
}
```

If group-by-careTeam was true, the Parameters resource will contain a parameter for each CareTeam that is referenced in ``Communication.participant.actor`` in any of the matching ``ehealth-material-communication`` resources. The name of each parameter will be the reference value (CareTeam/[id]) of the CareTeam and the value will be the count of matching ``ehealth-material-communication`` resources that reference that CareTeam. It is worth noting that if an ``ehealth-material-communication`` has two (or more) distinct participant CareTeams, this will add to the count of each of them.

Example of output with group-by-careTeam as true:
```
&quot;resource&quot;: {
    &quot;resourceType&quot;: &quot;Parameters&quot;,
    &quot;parameter&quot;: [{
            &quot;name&quot;: &quot;CareTeam/123&quot;,
            &quot;valueInteger&quot;: 5
            },
            {
            &quot;name&quot;: &quot;CareTeam/456&quot;,
            &quot;valueInteger&quot;: 7
            }]
    }]
}
```
