I was giving examples of possible results, for any given
implementation it's should never be ambiguous.  Eg; without the query
parameters it identifies the search screen (perhaps). With the query
parameters it identifies a single patient (assuming one exists for the
given parameters). An alternate implementation might be that without
query parameters the results is a list.
