The Healthcare Providers data product includes a predefined, standardized schema for provider data. When you add data to your data product, you identify how columns in your source datasets correspond to the attributes in the unified schema.

To prepare, review the general Requirements for Source Datasets.

The tables below describe these attributes and explains which are:

Required: You cannot refresh your data until you map source columns to these attributes.
Suggested: For optimal enrichment and clustering results, map source columns to these attributes.
Optional: These attributes have minimal impact on your clustering and enrichment results. If your source data includes columns that match these attributes, map them to include that source data in your completed data product.

Attributes Other than Addresses

Note that the matching model can use either the combination of first and last name values or full name values, whichever is mapped from the source data.
