e-CPS

The e-CPS is a means of electronic authentication for healthcare professionals.

Getting started

The e-CPS is the digital card for healthcare professionals. It offers strong authentication in mobile situations and relies on the federator of identity providers Pro Santé Connect.

Pro Santé Connect is a federator of identity providers based on the OpenID Connect standard. Service providers who integrate it can thus retrieve the identity of the person as well as the identity (profession, etc.), and base certain clearance decisions on these characteristics.

The healthcare professional can, for his or her part, electronically authenticate to e-CPS-compatible services present on his or her cell phone (DMP, MSSanté, etc.).) This is essential for those who don't have a CPS card (Carte de Professionnel de Santé), and more practical for those who want to authenticate electronically to their services without going through a workstation equipped with a card reader.

Offering the possibility of connection via e-CPS in your applications is the guarantee of having a means of authentication that complies with regulations at all times, and of relying on opposable data.

In practice

You can activate your e-CPS on your smartphone as soon as you have either a nominative physical CPx card or reliable contact details in the Annuaire Santé

.

When ?

The connection to Pro Santé Connect can intervene on new projects but also on tools in service.

Technical connection can be completed in 24 to 48 hours. Functional connection takes an average of 2 months.
