Update a patient
Updates demographics. A blank submitted value NEVER clears a populated EHR value. When a non-blank value conflicts with the stored chart, conflictPolicy decides: reject (default, 400 listing the conflicting fields), overwrite, or skip. The default is deliberate — this is a public booking form writing to a clinical record, so silent overwrite is the wrong behaviour.

Contact points to write. Each is merged into the chart BY TYPE, so a submitted cell number never touches a stored home or work number. A phone-typed value must contain at least 7 digits or the request is rejected. NOTE: phone values are NOT covered by conflictPolicy — a submitted number replaces the stored number OF THE SAME TYPE. We hold one untyped 'preferred' number per chart, so a typed submission cannot be compared against it without rejecting the ordinary case of a patient confirming their mobile. An EMAIL_ADDRESS entry here writes the chart's single email field and IS covered by conflictPolicy.

What to do when a submitted value differs from the stored one. reject (default) fails the whole update and reports the conflicting fields; overwrite replaces them; skip keeps the stored value and applies the rest. Blank submitted values NEVER clear a populated EHR value under any policy — this is a public booking form writing to a clinical record, so silent overwrite is not the default. Applies to the named demographic fields and to an email sent via phones[]; see phones for why phone VALUES are exempt.
Available options:
reject, overwrite, skip Example:
"reject"
