"description" : "A Master Patient Index ([MPI](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_master_patient_index)\n ) is a service used to manage patient identification in a context where multiple patient\n databases exist. Healthcare applications and middleware use the MPI to match patients\n between the databases, and to store new patient details as they are encountered. MPIs\n are highly specialized applications, often tailored extensively to the institution's particular\n mix of patients. MPIs can also be run on a regional and national basis. \n\nTo ask an MPI to match a patient, clients use the "$match" operation, which\n accepts a patient resource which may be only partially complete. The data provided is\n interpreted as an MPI input and processed by an algorithm of some kind that uses the data\n to determine the most appropriate matches in the patient set. Note that different MPI\n matching algorithms have different required inputs. The generic $match operation does\n not specify any particular algorithm, nor a minimum set of information that must be provided\n when asking for an MPI match operation to be performed, but many implementations will\n have a set of minimum information, which may be declared in their definition of the $match\n operation by specifying a profile on the resource parameter, indicating which properties\n are required in the search. The patient resource submitted to the operation does not\n have to be complete, nor does it need to pass validation (i.e. mandatory fields don't\n need to be populated), but it does have to be a valid instance, as it is used as the reference\n data to match against.",
