Description
Current spec says:
"All patient records SHALL have a search score from 0 to 1, where 1 is the most certain match, along with an extension "match-grade" that indicates the MPI's position on the match quality."
It's not clear why we would mandate that in the core spec. Not all MPIs produce the second and it's somewhat redundant with the first. Suggest making it a "should" or provide an explanation of why it's a mandatory and how to meaningfully/consistently map scores to those codes.
