How can I tell why a record is showing as a Conflict match?

How can I tell why a record is showing as a Conflict match?

A Conflict occurs when a record matches another record enough to surpass the linking threshold but there is a difference in one of the major identifiers which suggests the records may not be the same.

The Major Identifiers are:

  • NI Number
  • Date of Birth
  • NHSUniqueID
  • Smartcard Number (UUID)
  • Email Address

When reviewing the match you can see what could have caused the conflict by hovering over the score in the weighting column.
