3.5.3 Patient record links

Linking two or more patients does not require the actual merging of patient information as discussed in Section 3.5.2, "Merging patient/person information;" following a link trigger event, sets of affected patient data records should remain distinct. However, because of differences in database architectures, there may be system-dependent limitations or restrictions regarding the linking of one or more patients that must be negotiated.
