Business Unit Match Coverage
Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Business Unit |
Specify the business unit for which this set of matching criteria (defined on the Match Definition page) should apply. |
Relationship Type |
Select the relationship type that should be made available for the selected business unit when presenting case matches. |
Provider Group Match Coverage
Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Provider Group SetID |
Specify the SetID of the associated provider group for which this set of matching criteria (defined on the Match Definition page) should apply. |
Provider Group Name |
Specify the provider group for which this set of matching criteria (defined on the Match Definition page) should apply. |
Relationship Type |
Select the relationship type that should be made available for the selected provider group when presenting case matches. |
When searching for case matches, if there is no provider group on the current case, the system will use the match criteria defined for the case business unit. If the current case has a provider group, then the system will use the match criteria defined for that provider group.
If the current case has a provider group but there is no match criteria defined for that provider group, then the system will use the match criteria defined for the business unit for that case.
Note: There is no limit to how many match definitions you can define for a business unit or provider group. However, the more match definitions you define, the more processing it will take to return your match results. For that reason, we recommend you minimize the number of match definitions you use.
