R6 Class Representing an Outcome definition

The Outcome class, encapsulating the id, name, outcome cohortId, exclusion cohortId, and clean window.

Details

This class is used to specify an outcome definition. The outcome id is distinct from the outcome cohort ID in that you can define multiple outcomes that use the same outcome cohort with different clean windows or exclusion cohort.

Note, when serializing with a library such as jsonlite, first call toList() on the R6 class before calling jsonlite::toJSON().
