CareRight can integrate with external provider directories supplied by secure messaging vendors. This provides a convenient way to maintain professional contact records without having to manually update or maintain them.
CareRight can integrate with any provider directory which conforms to the Australian Profile for Provider Directory Services (PD 2 on FHIR R4).
Certificate
Australian standards usually require a client certificate in order to access a provider directory. The details of this will be vendor specific.
- Medical-Objects - Currently a separate certificate is required from the certificate used for sending Medical-Objects. This can be done using the Medical-Objects Client Certificate Request Utility. For details, see here: https://kb.medical-objects.com.au/display/PUB/Certificate+Wizard+Walkthrough
- Argus (Telstra) - Currently you must use the Health Services Directory instead of a provider directory. Please see NHSD for more information.
- Other Vendors - Please contact the vendor for instructions on how to obtain a certificate in P12 format.
The certificate can be added to CareRight at: Administration > Secure Messaging > Certificates > New
