Patient Merger
The Patient Merger consolidates duplicate EMPI records — re-pointing encounters and observations, retaining provenance and writing audit events.
Irreversible without audit
Every merge requires idempotency keys and writes a full lineage trail — compliance must reconstruct who merged whom and why.
