from Pending to Deferred (re)approval until a Release Occurs.  DG*5.3*857
distributed the DG VIC PATIENT LOOKUP RPC but no known subscribers are
currently using the RPC.  The ICR could be activated in the future when an
application requests to be added as a subscriber to the ICR.


Allows patient lookup based on VIC card value.  The value can be from a legacy
or a newer VIC 4.0 card.  The value can be the data from the swipe (magnetic
stripe) input or the scan (barcode) of the card.  Using applications should
not attempt to parse the card value but pass into the RPC the whole card value
and allow the RPC to parse the values needed.
