  <description
               value="TestScript creating a patient resource conformant to the AT Core Patient profile on a FHIR Server. The FHIR Client may use any input patient resource, but the script provides an example patient: Andreas Bucher - HL7ATCorePatientCreateTestExample. Expected Result: the server accepts creation of a Patient resource that is conformant to the AT Core Patient profile. The server-assigned logical id is captured in the patientResourceId variable so it can be fed into the AT Core Patient Update test script."/>
