Update Patient

Use the "Create Patient" endpoint to update that patient. We try to minimize duplicate patients in our system, so we attempt to match the patient with any existing records and return the existing patient GUID. The system primarily matches based on the patient's name and DOB.
You can update any other patient fields using the default "Create Patient" endpoint. However, if you need to update the patient's name, you can set strict_deduplication to false. This will match the patient based on email and/or phone number along with DOB.
Keep in mind that changing the patient’s DOB will always result in a new patient being created. Only set strict_deduplication to false when you need to update a patient’s name.
