IBM Data and AI Ideas Portal for Customers


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Post your ideas

Post ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

  1. Post an idea

  2. Upvote ideas that matter most to you

  3. Get feedback from the IBM team to refine your idea

Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests

The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The product management team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.

Receive notification on the decision

Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

Enhancing Patient Safety when Potential Overlay is Identified Using IBM MDM

Issue:

The MDM application leaves a PO record in an entity. This allows a search based off the PO ID or the PO Demographics to return an incorrect patient. Currently the application prevents returning the ID when requested which helps prevent sending out incorrect data. By leaving the record as a member of an entity it's demographics could contribute to returning the wrong patient data.

Solution:

Full quarantine of a record with a PO status by removing the record from all entities until the PO has been resolved.

Note:

This may be best explained by showing. We would be more than happy to set some time up to review.

    Hi Christen,

    Sorry for not getting back to you earlier.

    So the feedback I have received from our engineering team is that making a singleton entity of a member with PO, would create a lot of unnecessary traffic for event/entity management and would severely impact downstream systems.

    We do recognize that these are very valid requirements, but our approach to handle these scenarios in the current MDM SE/AE architecture may not necessarily match to the solution you expressed here .. (Full quarantine of a record with a PO status by removing the record from all entities until the PO has been resolved.).

    We are currently working full steam on our Next Gen MDM and we will design and implement a better solution for this in Next Gen matching.

    Thanks

    Christen - we had a bit of an issue tracking down the requirement. Now that we have it we will evaluate and respond directly if setting up a call is required.

    Agreed... an overlayed record should become a singleton right away

    This is a much needed change. Great idea!
