Searching Provider Identities

When you search and view identities in Provider Data Management the data about those records is grouped together first by Source + Native ID and second by Link ID.

All the attribute values that have ever been posted to Provider Data Management for a given Source + Native ID are displayed together for that Source + Native ID (with the most recently updated values shown first). All the source records that have been linked together into a single Link ID by Verato’s matching algorithm are then displayed together grouped by Link ID.

Searching identities 

1. On the Data Stewardship page, click Search identities.
2. In the Search for box, select Provider (Individual) or Provider (Organization). 
3. Select one of the following to Search by: 
   • Demographics — Search by two or more demographics criteria, such as name, address, SSN, zip code, etc. See Searching by Demographics (below) for a complete list.
   • ID — Under Source, select a record source from the drop down. Search by Link ID if you already have a Link ID to search. If you search based on Link ID, be aware that that Link ID is case-sensitive. Under Native ID, enter the native ID you wish to search. You can type part of the source code to filter the drop down list. 
4. Click Search. 
5. Under Search Results, click the Link ID for the record you want to review.

Viewing search results

Each identity row displayed in the search results corresponds to a single distinct Link ID in Provider Data Management. This Link ID may be comprised of one or many Source + Native ID source records, but in the initial search results view each Link ID is collapsed into a single row, representing a single unique person.
