sorry, re-reading this, forgot to say: the end result being that for some
other importer, no additional code would be required to process semantically
"wrong" imports which likewise had incorrect or non-existent patients or
staff associated with them.  all that would need to be written would be an
importer which did the same trick of "set patient field to NULL, set
unmatched_patient instead", and the exact same
clin.lab_request+clin.test_data dialog box would use that field to a) mark
the record with "red warnings" b) present a "match with patient" or "match
with staff" dialog.

no other-importer-specific extra code would be needed to have the other
importer do patient or staff disambiguation: that job's handled by the
clin.lab_request+clin.test_data dialog box.
