description: An MPI search differs from a normal search because the parameters are interpreted as inputs to an MPI match process, rather than as direct match criteria on the returned resources

requirements: This query is defined to allow an MPI to be integrated in a FHIR server environment, and to allow a client to delegate the matching process to a specialist. MPI algorithms are often highly tailored to a particular patient set

idempotent: true

code: mpi

notes: All the standard search parameters apply, and are interpreted as inputs to the MPI algorithm. The _sort parameter is not used. Matches are returned in order of highest match to lowest match, with both a % in the score, and an asessement of the match using the extension http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/patient-mpi-match
