Embodiments of the invention provide a system and method of automatically generating weights for matching data records. Each field of a record may be compared by an exact match and / or close matches and each comparison can result in a mathematical score which is the sum of the field comparisons. To sum up the field scores accurately, the automatic weight generation process comprises an iterative process. In one embodiment, initial weights are computed based upon unmatched-set probabilities and default discrepancy weights associated with attributes in the comparison algorithm. A bulk cross-match is performed across the records using the initial weights and a candidate matched set is computed for updating the discrepancy probabilities. New weights are computed based upon the unmatched probabilities and the updated discrepancy probabilities. Test for convergence between the new weights and the old weights. Repeat with the new weight table until the weights converge to their final value.

This twenty-step business process uses a clinical trials matching system to perform scalable searches of derived patient data records for patients that may be eligible for clinical trials. The patent-bearing business contracts with healthcare providers of patients found in derived patient data records to review the likely matches of those patients to clinical trials. Contracted healthcare providers also provide sufficient data for the patent-bearing business to determine if their patients qualify for clinical trials. Probabilistic matching techniques are used for this determination. The healthcare provider solicits qualified patients for clinical trials and interacts to enroll patients in trials. Solicitation is active in that the patent bearing business need not wait for a patient to initiate contact in order to seek determination of a patient's potential eligibility to participate in a clinical trial. Patient privacy is protected by limiting patient contact to be only through the patient's healthcare provider.
