mergePersons

The mergePersons method merges a person into another person record. This operation is usually the result of the creation of two duplicate records in the EMPI by one of the participating identifier domains. Once the error is identified at the source, it is corrected by merging the two patient records into a single record.

Method

The method uses the PUT HTML method.

Input

The input to the method is the retired Person Identifier and surviving Person Identifier.
