Use case covered

This resource is a request resource from a FHIR workflow perspective - see Workflow, specifically Request.

The RequestGroup resource is used to represent a group of optional activities that may be performed for a specific patient or context. This resource is often, but not always, the result of applying a specific PlanDefinition to a particular patient. Other than differences that tie the RequestGroup to a particular subject and setting, the actionDefinition element of PlanDefinition is identical to the action element of the RequestGroup, allowing the same features and functionality to be used in both places to describe optionality of and relationships between activities in a workflow.

RequestGroups can contain hierarchical groups of actions, where each specific action references the action to be performed (in terms of a Request resource), and each group describes additional behavior, relationships, and applicable conditions between the actions in the overall group.
