You can now configure multiple address types in the Healthcare Providers data product. In the Configure Data Product page, address attributes are now organized into different groups, representing different types of addresses associated with the healthcare providers.

The data product schema includes Primary address attributes by default. You can choose to include attributes for additional addresses, including: office, corporate, previous, mailing, shipping, registered, billing, and other addresses.

The address type is included in the attribute names in golden records - both in the UI and in published data. In the examples below, notice that the primary address attribute names include “primary” in golden records display and publish configuration settings.

See Configuring the Healthcare Providers Data Product for more information about using these attributes in your data product.

Migrating to the New Attributes

If you have existing healthcare provider data products, the new address options are available automatically, but your existing configuration is not changed.

You can continue to run the data product and publish results without making any changes to the current data product configuration.

You can update the attribute mapping to take advantage of the new address groups. This involves:

1. Updating the data product configuration and refreshing the data product
2. Updating display settings
3. Updating publish configurations

Updating the Data Product Configuration

When you first open the Configure Data Product page, you see yellow warning messages for the existing deprecated address attributes, prompting you to remove these mappings and re-map the attributes to the new Address Attribute Groups attributes.

The Refresh Data Product button is still enabled; you can refresh the data product without remapping the attributes.

Step 1: Remap Attributes
To remap fields to the new attribute groups:

1. Expand the Primary section in Address Attribute Groups.
2. Map the primary address attributes for each source dataset.
3. Remove the mappings for the deprecated address attributes. After you remove the mappings, the deprecated attributes are removed from the schema.

Important: Once you begin mapping to the new address attributes, you cannot refresh the data product until you remap all of the source datasets to the new attributes and remove the deprecated mappings.

Step 2: Set Record Consolidation Rules
Configure the record consolidation rules for the new attributes. You configure these rules at the group level. Select the name of the group (Primary, Office, and so on) to open the configuration rules. In the example below, the primary address attributes will be consolidated to the most common primary address from the source record cluster.

Step 3: Select Attributes to Include in Uniformity Scores
For each attribute in the address attribute group, you can choose whether to calculate the uniformity score. The uniformity score provides insight into how similar the values for this attribute are within the source record cluster.

Step 4: Update Clustering Rules
If you have existing clustering rules that refer to the deprecated address attributes, update the rules to use the new address attributes.

Step 5: Refresh the Data Product
When you have completed the configuration changes, refresh the data product.

Updating Display Settings

On the golden records (or entities) page for your data product, you can select which attributes are included in the golden records table in the Tamr Cloud UI.

When the data product refresh is complete, open the data product, and then select the Settings (gear) icon above the golden records table. Select the Address attributes to include in the table.

Updating Publish Configurations

After refreshing the data product, existing publish configurations for the golden records dataset are automatically updated to include the new attributes. To ensure that publishing succeeds if you do not make changes to existing publish configurations:

• The deprecated address attributes are not removed from the configuration; they are still selected for inclusion in the published dataset.
• The new address attributes are available, but are not selected for inclusion in the output, as shown below.

To publish the golden records dataset with the new attributes, either:

• Add a new golden records publish configuration. After you remove the deprecated attributes from the data product configuration page, those attributes are not included in the publish configuration.
• Update existing publishing configurations; de-select the deprecated attributes and select the new attributes. If you are publishing to Snowflake and change the publish configuration, you must either update the destination Snowflake table to match the updated schema or delete the destination table; otherwise, publishing will fail.
