Abstract:

Some embodiments may be directed to matching users, such as employees, with insurance records in an integrated database, wherein the integrated database includes a plurality of insurance records, each record being associated with a unique employee and having a plurality of fields. According to some embodiments, new employee information may be received and it may be determined that the new employee information does not qualify as a strong match with any insurance record in the integrated database. Moreover, it may be determined, based on a probabilistic pattern match of the new employee information with values in the fields of the integrated database, that the new employee information qualifies as a weak match with a particular insurance record in the integrated database. Subsequent to the determination of a weak match, supplemental employee information may be received, and, responsive to the supplemental employee information, the match between the new employee information and the particular insurance record in the integrated database may be upgraded from a weak match to a strong match.
