The more demographic information you can provide about a Patient, the higher chances Metriport will be
able to find a match. For example: nicknames, old addresses, multiple phone numbers, a pre-marital
last name, etc.
You may provide a comma/space delimited string to specify multiple first and last names. For
example, the following inputs would be equivalent: "John,Jonathan" & "John Jonathan" - these
would translate to ["John", "Jonathan"].
The Patient's gender at birth, can be one of M or F or O or U. Use O (other) when the patient's gender is known but it is not M or F, i.e intersex or hermaphroditic.
Use U (unknown) when the patient's gender is not known.
An external Patient ID to associate to a Patient in Metriport.
If the optional externalId param is provided, you can expect to see it returned in the responses
involving the Patient. It will also be included within the webhook payloads.
A map containing additional external identifiers. If the patient is created or mapped in Metriport through one of
our EHR apps - this property will be populated with the ID from the EHR, and included
within the webhook payloads.
The Patient's gender at birth, can be one of M or F or O or U. Use O (other) when the patient's gender is known but it is not M or F, i.e intersex or hermaphroditic.
