3.1 - Patient Identification

A patientId may be provided when registering a new patient.  Upon registration, a wmdaId will be assigned and returned.  The wmdaId itself is guaranteed to be globally unique, though it cannot guarantee that the patient is not identified with another wmdaId.  The wmdaId must be used to identify the patient in all calls to the Search, Match & Connect (SMC) service after the initial patient registration.
