What is Health Pro Directory?
The Healthcare Professionals Directory aggregates the ID details of healthcare professionals and their establishments from several national databases, namely the RPPS+ (French HPs shared directory), ADELI (Registry of Health Professionals Certifications) and FINESS (National Register for Health and Social Care Establishments) directories.
Accessible to professionals, the Health Pro Directory is a secure service to provide identification information for medical and medico-social workers, as well as their diplomas, specialities, and practice details.
As a software publisher, integrating the Health Pro Directory enables you to:
- Access reliable data certified by the competent authorities;
- Implement synchronisation processes with a local directory;
- Retrieve the national ID number of a professional to manage and trace IS access;
- Speed up the process of application account creation (pre-filled forms) and validation.
