NAME VPS VALIDATE PATIENT ID
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The VPS Validate Patient ID is an API that accepts a
patient identifier type-value pair and returns the DFN of the patient.  Valid
patient identifier types are SSN, DFN, ICN, and VIC/CAC.

The API checks the format of the patient identifier value to verify that the
identifier value conforms to the expected format for the specified identifier
type.  If the value format does not match the identifier type format, an error
message is returned.

The patient  identifier type is used to select a lookup routine to use to
obtain the DFN corresponding to the type-value pair submitted.  If the DFN is
found in PATIENT file #2, the DFN is returned, otherwise a PATIENT NOT FOUND
error message is returned.
