    You need to declare the type patient_t in the PL/SQL package:

    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE PATIENT_DATA_SERVICES AS

TYPE patient_t IS RECORD (id NUMBER(15), ...);

function get_patient_id
( p_first_name in varchar2
, p_last_name  in varchar2
) return number
;

function get_patient_record
( p_patient_id in number
) return  patient_t
;

END PATIENT_DATA_SERVICES;

    Should patient_t be a table in your database, the function can be declared like this:

    function get_patient_record (p_patient_id in number) return patient_t%ROWTYPE;
