The $clear-context operation allows launching applications, such as Point of Care (PoC) systems, to remove clinical contexts previously established during a SMART on FHIR Accelerator (SoFA) launch. This operation ensures data hygiene and supports compliance with jurisdictional data retention policies by deleting context-related data that is no longer needed.

The operation requires the launchID generated by a prior $set-context invocation to identify and remove associated FHIR resources stored in the SoFA for the specified session. These resources may include those created by the launching application through the $set-context operation or by the SMART application after the launch.

The outcome of the operation is returned in an OperationOutcome resource, which provides details on the success or failure of the context-clearing process.
