Topic: Query Provider registry
David Hay (Mar 30 2017 at 21:30):
I had a query from a colleague who wanted to query a provider registry using any combination of the following fields: Provider first name, provider last name, Providers at at Organization, provider specialties. Any thoughts on the best way to achieve this?

If so, you could try an EMPI query operation such as exists on Patient. That lets you find probabilistic matches that done't necessarily match all of the specified criteria, but have a probabilistic match based on an internal algorithm that includes spelling variations, number transposition, etc.

"Any combination" meaning find me something that matches any of the criteria, not something that matches all?
