HRP Service
Healthcare Professionals Registry is a comprehensive repository of registered and verified practitioners delivering modern as well as traditional healthcare services across India. The Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) empowers the HPR to onboard healthcare professionals onto India’s digital health ecosystem and connect patients to healthcare providers or vice versa with last mile coverage. Every name visible to the public is certified and authorised to practice medicine in the country. The HPR ensures that only healthcare practitioners suitably trained and qualified to practice medicine with competence and ethical compliance can register with HPR. This ensures public good.

Approach
The above diagram follows the following approach:
The HRP service would behave like a bridge between the clinic/hospitals and the gateway.
All the clinics/hospitals would need to subscribe to the HRP service and generate their unique HFR ID.
HRP service maintains a map of HRFID to instanceID/instanceURL.
Gateway would just talk to HRP service and HRP service using the map would route the calls to different instances.
On-Boarding New Facilities
ABDM support two methods to onboard health facilities:
Facility declared process – In this process, the health facility is expected to sign up on the Health Facility Registry and then link the ABDM compatible HRP software it plans to use.
HRP declared process – The HRP can declare the presence of the health facility in the Health Facility registry (HFR) via an API. The HRP can then link their software with the Facility ID obtained from the declaration.
