The cost is determined by the certifying body which grants the certificate.

The daily cost to conduct the audits is at their discretion. The industrial is free to choose which certifying body they want to work with to become certified.

For further information on this topic, we suggest you contact the certifying bodies that have signed a convention agreement with the ANS, listed below:

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.

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, you need to have the ISO 9001 or the ISO 13485 certification to be eligible. You may begin the QHN certification process while you are in the course of making an application for/or renewing these ISO 9001 or the ISO 13485 certifications.

Yes, as long as the industrial remains responsible for the compliance of these processes with the requirements set out to obtain the QHN certification – regardless of hired external contractors or if some of the components are published or made by third-party companies.

Indeed, in the whole production system’s organisation, the industrial is the direct contact with a health professional or structure, and must make sure each requirement set out in the “Référentiel Qualité Hôpital Numérique” (QHN Referential, available in our Documentation section) is met.

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.
