About the RealTime Healthcare Providers Data Product

👋
Limited Release
RealTime data products are in limited release. Some functionality is still in development and is subject to change. If you are interested in using these data products, contact Tamr Support ([email protected]).

The RealTime Healthcare Providers data product provides a consolidated view of Type 1 (individual) healthcare providers. You can use this information, for example, to help streamline operations and provide optimal patient care.

This data product is not designed to master Type 2 (organization) healthcare data.

This data product provides:

An industry-standard schema for healthcare provider data.
A pre-trained matching configuration to identify duplicate healthcare provider records.
Default rules to determine the best values for your golden records. These rules also include a final value condition as a tiebreaker if rules resolve to multiple values.
