The name element is a set of reusable constraints that can be used for the patient or any other person. It requires a first (given) and last (family) name. One or more middle names can be inserted between the first and last name. If a patient or person has only one name part (e.g., patient with first name only) then place the name part in the best matching field. Use the appropriate nullFlavor, "Not Applicable" (NA), in the other field.
