INsource-patient0..1Reference (Patient)

A direct resource reference to the source patient resource (this may include an identifier).

INsource-patient-identifier0..*Identifier

When source-patient-identifiers are provided, the server is expected to perform an internal lookup to identify the source patient record. The server SHALL reject the request if the provided identifiers do not resolve to a single patient record. This resolution MAY occur asynchronously, for example, as part of a review by a user.

INtarget-patient0..1Reference (Patient)

A direct resource reference to the target patient resource.

This is the surviving patient resource, the target for the link.

INtarget-patient-identifier0..*Identifier

When target-patient-identifiers are provided, the server is expected to perform an internal lookup to identify the target patient record. The server SHALL reject the request if the provided identifiers do not resolve to a single patient record. This resolution MAY occur asynchronously, for example, as part of a review by a user.
