Pro Santé Connect is a centralising authority for identity providers (IF) using the OpenID Connect standard.

With the connected services, it allows professionals to authenticate themselves using either their e-CPS - a smartphone app - or their CPS.

Pro Santé Connect sends the service provider a token containing certain standard identity features (surname, first name, gender, etc.) as well as certain sector-specific identity features (profession, expertise, practice, etc.) from the RPPS so that the service provider can, in addition to simple electronic identification, check the reliability of the data it uses and manage all or some of its authorisations.

Most changes (functional, regulatory and technological) can be deployed instantly across the entire geographical area, without impacting the operation of the connected digital services.
