Duplicate records pose significant challenges in healthcare management, leading to clinical and billing inefficiencies. HealthLake's resource matching identifies and links duplicates across seven FHIR resource types by using unique identifiers like social security and medical record numbers, avoiding false matches via filtering.
Enabled with no configuration or third-party tools, this feature preserves original data while creating linkages that update dynamically as records change. It is currently available in a gated preview across multiple AWS Regions, helping organizations construct accurate longitudinal records and analytics-ready population health data.
