The subject may be a reference to a patient by internal SMIS id

"subject": {
  "reference": "Patient/1489161154728048"
}

or an identifier identifying the patient with the external id.

"subject": {
  "identifier": {
    "system": "http://smis.ch/fhir/patient/external_id",
    "value": "FDDEC0EA-A0FA-448C-916E-51C777AD97E8"
  }
}
