THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONTACTS AND PATIENTS!!!
(Sorry for the shouting). It is non-sensical to distinguish these two 
categories of identities, since they share the vast majority of attributes, 
and can indeed be both.

Putting the patients onto an LDAP server would indeed be a huge advantage, 
since that's the easiest and most standard conformant way of sharing 
addresses.
