Match rules for Healthcare

Learn what match rules are preconfigured in entity types for Reltio for Healthcare .

Reltio for Healthcare brings together systems including patient records, payment, and insurance systems. Many of these systems duplicate patient and provider information. Match rules define the criteria Reltio uses to determine whether two records are duplicates.

Provider Organization and Practitioner entity types are highly likely to be duplicated, so match rules help you reconcile any variations. Insurance plans, on the other hand, tend not to have duplicates, so they do not need match rules.

Some preconfigured entity types in the Reltio for Healthcare data model come with match rules. For general information on match rules, see topic Reltio match and merge. For details on the preconfigured entity types that come with Reltio for Healthcare, see Entity types for Healthcare.
