Sorry to probably misunderstand you, but, I believe, you can do it
either way. For example, you can create the Party first, then add the
Patient and connect the patient to the Party. Or you can add a Patient,
then, in the process, create the Party record. I think what you are
trying to say is that it would be easier to auto-fill/add the Party
record when you are creating a new record? The initial registration is
more like one form that's spread over two data models.

Hope that helps!
