    Extended Operations
    ConformanceOperationDocumentation
    SHALL$unalign

    Remove a patient's alignment from an ACCESS participant. Requires mandatory reason parameter from ACCESSUnalignmentReasonVS (geographic-relocated or loss-of-contact). Automatically cancels active subscriptions and sends unalignment notifications upon successful unalignment. Returns unalignment status from ACCESSUnalignmentResultVS: unaligned or unalignment-pending. Implements asynchronous processing with HTTP 202 Accepted response containing Content-Location header for status polling.

    SHALL$submission-status

    Poll the status of a previously submitted unalignment request. Returns HTTP 202 while processing or HTTP 200 with result when complete.
