Do you mind adding a unit test for this? :)

Feel free to reopen when you are done with the above. :)

Thanks reviewing the commit. I have added the tests and pushed it into same branch https://github.com/endeepak/openmrs-core/commit/8f7ff055a3bb079cfe41aed5d0cfffbef9a602f8. I don't see an option to re-open the pull request here. It may be due to repository permissions.

Please let me know if I need to raise another request.

I have made necessary changes in https://github.com/endeepak/openmrs-core/commit/bc7f06abe9d8b74f3ce5f8f5bb169df9c06d0e2f. Unfortunately it includes the formatting changes which I forgot to commit in last check in.

Am closing this in the light of the code here: https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-emrapi/blob/master/api/src/main/java/org/openmrs/module/emrapi/adt/AdtServiceImpl.java#L143
