  "description" : "TestScript updating an existing patient resource conformant to the AT Core Patient profile on a FHIR Server using the JSON format. The FHIR Client may use any input patient resource, but the script provides an example patient: Andreas Bucher - HL7ATCorePatientUpdateTestExample with an updated PI value of “11-22-33-44”. Expected Result: the server accepts the update of a Patient resource that is conformant to the AT Core Patient profile. Precondition: the target resource already exists on the server; the setup phase establishes this itself by PUTting the fixture to the same id first, so the test can assert a strict 200 regardless of what ran before it. The patientResourceId variable MUST carry the same value as Patient.id inside the fixture body.",
