A patientId may be provided when registering a new patient in WMDA Search & Match.  Upon registration, a wmdaId will be assigned and returned.  The wmdaId itself is guaranteed to be globally unique, though it cannot guarantee that the same patient is not registered by multiple organisations using the same patientId or with different patientId's within the same organisation.  The wmdaId must be used to identify the patient in all calls to the Search, Match & Connect (SMC) service after the initial patient registration.
