OperationDefinition: Create Patient

If the CPR number does not match a patient on the service, looks up the CPR in the national registry and finds any potential prior CPRs used by the person.

NOTE: This means that the returned patient can have a different identifier than the one used for the request. If no prior CPR matches, creates a new patient using national data. If the CPR is invalid, i.e. does not correspond to a patient on the national registry, it errors.
