02. I select the method for retrieving data from the National ROR health database
I download public data via files that are updated once a week
The facility identification data and the information describing the healthcare services are sufficient for me
The weekly update meets my needs
I download the public ROR data (mev2.4 CSD) in XML format from the data.gouv.fr platform. I do not need to proceed further in the process.
I would like to access public and/or restricted health care data via web services
I’m integrating my application with the national ROR APIs. The web services are available in both FHIR and CSD formats.
Important note: Web services in CSD format (meV2.4) are deprecated and do not support, among other things, bed/bed space availability. This format will be discontinued at the end of Q1 2026. We strongly recommend that you connect to the FHIR MEV3.0 APIs.
03. I identify the web services I need
If I choose FHIR web services based on MEV 3.0, I select the web services I need from among the following three options:
Case 1: I retrieve the complete initialization of the national ROR via an $export query.
Case 2: I retrieve service data via targeted FHIR queries (multiple search criteria, fewer than 10,000 results).
Case 3: I retrieve capacity data on a very regular basis via a dedicated cache.
If I choose the CSD web services based on MEV 2.4 (to be decommissioned at the end of Q1 2026), I select the web services I need from among the following three options:
Case 1: I need to initialize all the data:
I initialize my database using the ROR service via the "TR-Récupération Extraction" web service (REST service)
I update my database using the following web services:
Case 2: I import the offer for a single facility that I have selected in my business tool using the TR-Lecture-OffresSanteEtablissement web service (SOAP service).
Case 3: I import information for a specific part of the organization that I identify using its identifier (the internal organization identifier—division/department/…/basic unit assigned by the national ROR) using the TR-Lecture-OffresSanteOrganisationInterne web service (SOAP service)
