This endpoint can be used in situations where the Patient synchronization with external systems/EHR cannot be automatically performed, either because there’s no capability on said system or because the Patient was created before the integration took place. In these situations, customers are asked to create the Patient in Metriport and call this endpoint to synchronize the Patient with the EHR.

​
