What is the RPPS directory?

The shared directory of professionals working in the healthcare system (RPPS) is the unique reference directory for identifying professionals working in the healthcare system. It gathers and publishes information on professionals, on the basis of an RPPS number assigned to them and for the rest of their lives.

Who are the natural persons present in this directory?

The RPPS includes, exhaustively and compulsorily:

• Professionals belonging to the professions subject to order: doctors, dental surgeons, midwives, pharmacists, masseurs-kinésithérapeutes, pedicure-podologues, nurses;
• Professionals subject to compulsory registration without order registered by the Agences Régionales de Santé (ARS). In the past, these professionals had an ADELI number, but today they have all been transferred to the RPPS.

Since December 2022, the RPPS has been open to other professions in the healthcare, medico-social and social sectors who are involved in the care of users and patients, and who have a non-exhaustive role in support. Registration of these professionals in the RPPS must be done locally by the structures where the professional practices via the RPPS+ portal.

What are the identification data contained in the directory?

• Civil status data (such as surname/first name/date of birth...).
• Data specific to the healthcare sector (such as the professional's national public identifier, profession or specialty, place of practice, public e-mail address, ...).

Preliminary contractualization and habilitation steps are required to connect to the RPPS+ portal.
