The open access data is free to download. However, the user must be mindful of the General Conditions when working with the Health Pro Directory information.

There are two search options in the Health Pro Directory:

• A keyword search (Who ? What ? Where ?) that allows you to find professionals in matching establishments;
• A detailed search (Profession, specialisation, skills, ID, place of practice) to target health professionals or health structures.

Health CERT operates on weekdays between 9am and 6pm. Aside from these working hours, it is possible to contact the ANSSI to signal risks.

The RPPS has restricted access content. You need to log in to the Health Pro Directory to access these data. The use of a CPS card as means of authentication is required:

• if you carry a Director of Establishement (CDE) card or a liberal CPS card, you may automatically access the information whose access is granted to you;
• in other cases, accessing the directory with a CPx-type card may need a prior enrolment process with the ANS. You will need to fill a RPPS access request form.

You need a card reader in order to authentify yourself with a CPx-type card.

For further information, read our pages to the CPS and e-CPS.

Yes. The ANS has a video platform with training material, including cybersecurity support. You will find information about cybersuveillance auditing, how to signal a security risk, how to increase your password security, and how to identity malicious email.

Your level of access to the ROR data depends on the nature of the data you wish to use (public/restricted) and the perimeter you wish to cover (one ROR or several ROR directories).

The ROR data in public access:

• is available as opendata since mid-2022;
• will be available directly on the national ROR with no specific procedure in early 2023.

The ROR data in restricted access (professional access):

• for one regional ROR, you must complete a request form to join the regional circle of trust and send it to the region’s GRADeS;
• for several ROR directories, you must complete a request form to join the national circle of trust and send it to the ROR program team.

The update frequency depends on the source of the data. Data is updated daily when it comes from entities such as: national councils for the Ordres, the army health service, the FINESS directory, the CPx card information system; the MSSanté information system. Data coming from regional health agencies is updated on a weekly basis.

The MSSanté network system creates a Secure Space, which is managed by the ANS. This Secure Space includes messaging service providers under contract with the Agency (health structures, operators, administrators, etc.) in order to secure globally the electronic messaging services proposed to health professionals. There are many messaging services integrated to the Secure Space, which protects the sharing of health data.

Healthcare industrials and software publishers are encouraged to contact Health CERT if they discover a security incident or potential malware. CERT provides assistance and support to resolve such issues. CERT also assists you in your communications to health structures.

Generally speaking, the PGSSI-S needs to be applied as soon as personal health data are being handled. It is relevant to the public sector as well as the private sector, health professionals, workers of the social-health and social sectors, healthcare establishments and service providers. 

As a patient, the PGSSI-S is a seal of guarantee on the accountability of digital health ecosystems.

Complying with the PGSSI-S frames of reference is either required by law (if the documents have been approved by a ministerial decree) or meant to be followed on a short-term basis until the documents are approved by the ministry.

MSSanté is a secure messaging system that enables authorised professional to share sensitive patient data in a safe manner, in the context of the patient’s care monitoring. As of now, billing and invoicing data are not included in this perimeter.

PLATINES is a platform dedicated to interoperability tests for eHealth. It stimulates a ROR (version 2.4) and gives you the opportunity to use “test” data via several professional cases (a total of 94 test scenarios are available). These test scenarios are valid for the current ROR as well as the national ROR.

You must contact the ROR program team to request access to PLATINES.

The national ID is on the first line of your CPS card:

• Add a “8” before your RPPS ID, for example: 81234567890 ;
• Add a “0” before your ADELI ID, for example: 01234567890.

MSSanté is an umbrella term which refers to the network of secure messaging services dedicated to healthcare, integrated in a Secure Space. Mailiz is one of the messaging services that is part of this Secure Space, which is managed by the ANS and proposed to health professionals by the Ordres de Santé (Health Governing Bodies).
