HL7 Referred Merged Patient Policy

• REJECT : Reject any incoming HL7 messages referring an already merged Patient
• IGNORE : Ignore any incoming HL7 messages referring an already merged Patient
• IGNORE_DUPLICATE_MERGE : Ignore only duplicate incoming HL7 Patient Merge (ADT^A40) messages referring an already merged Patient. Reject any other incoming HL7 messages referring an already merged Patient.
• ACCEPT_INVERSE_MERGE : Accept any incoming inverse HL7 Patient Merge (ADT^A40) messages referring an already merged Patient, optionally allowing inverse merging of patient records if clients send duplicated ADT^A40 patient merge messages repeatedly, just reversing the patient identifier values in PID / MRG segments.
