# FHIR R4 `$operations` for HealthLake
<a name="reference-fhir-operations"></a>

 FHIR \$1 operations (also called "dollar operations") are special server-side functions that extend beyond standard CRUD (`Create`, `Read`, `Update`, `Delete`) operations in the FHIR specification. These operations are identified by the "\$1" prefix and enable complex processing, data transformation, and bulk operations that would be difficult or inefficient to perform using standard REST API calls. \$1 Operations can be invoked at the system level, resource type level, or on specific resource instances, providing flexible ways to interact with FHIR data. AWS HealthLake supports multiple FHIR `$operations`. Please refer to each individual pages below for additional details.
