Multiple alternative demograhic-matches can be specified using '|' as delimiter.
Substrings specified by 'ignore("' regular-expression '")' will be ignored for matching patient name components.
A '(1)' suffix of the attribute name specifies that only the first character need to match.
A question mark('?') after a field name specifies that a missing value in received HL7 ORM messages will match with any value for that field in existing Patient Records, as Patient Records with missing values for that field will match with any value for that field in received HL7 ORM messages. Field names without question marks specifies, that HL7 ORM messages without values for such fields will not match any existing Patient Record, and Patient Records without values for such fields will not get selected on receive of any HL7 ORM message.
Surrounding demograhic-match by brackets('[]') defines, that demographic fields shall *not* be considered for the selection of an existing Patient record, if the Patient ID is qualified by an Issuer/Authority in the HL7 ORM message *and* in the matching Patient Record.
Attention:
Configuration of considertion of demographic fields for the selection of
existing Patient records disables the update of such Patient Demographics
attributes by HL7 ORM messages! => Only change the default value of
pid,issuer?
, if you know, what you are doing!
Warning:Improper configuration may cause MWL assignments to wrong patient.
Default: pid,issuer?
