The boosting of the weights related to imperfect matches of electronic records from disparate sources is discussed. The imperfect matches may be in primary data (such as a code) and/or in supplemental data between two or more records that correspond to the same person (such as a patient). The imperfect matches are analyzed to determine whether they are sufficient to warrant de-duplication of those imperfect matches in a final combined record for the person. The boosting of the weights may be based upon any of numerous factors, such as various distance measures between the supplemental information as a measure of how different the supplemental information is between the respective records.
