The person table is related to the Patient resource that is available via the FHIR API. It has a row for each HIEBus recordgroup that unifies record identity across all data sources. While FHIR employs the provider-centric “Patient” concept, the Bulk Data API uses the more generalized nomenclature “Person” in order to refer to the same entity.
The person table represents several concepts such as name, identifier, address, etc. that are available from multiple data sources. A prioritization algorithm determines a reconciled value for each of these concepts to describe the person.
