Directory Services
Inpriva makes available to all of it’s subscribers a complete Directory of all Direct-compliant Inpriva subscriber addresses. The Directory contains all public information regarding the subscriber such as name, direct address, organization, physical address, etc. Subscribers can search the Directory in a variety of methods to find specific healthcare providers or business associates and their corresponding Direct email address. This service is provided free of charge to all subscribers of Inpriva’s hDirectMail service.
Inpriva also provides access to our Directory of subscribers to any other qualified Health Information Service Provider to facilitate the transmission of Direct-compliant messages between subscribers, regardless of the underlying Health Information Service Provider.
Healthcare Organization (HCO) Directory
The Healthcare Organization (HCO) Directory Services offered are based upon an open source LDAP repository and includes the IHE HDP schema as described in the IHE IT Infrastructure Framework Supplement – Healthcare Provider Directory. The HCO Directory Services include support for the DSML interfaces described by the IHE specification.
Inpriva also supports the creation of unique Directories that contain information beyond what is required in the DirectProject initiative. These standalone Directories can be used as authoritative Directories for Trust Communities created at an organization, state or regional level. Authoritative information for provider entries will have to be identified and the Directory owner would be responsible for the process maintaining the directory’s content.
In both cases, the HCO Directory will be hosted and operated in a High Availability environment with replicated directory servers.
