Ontario's Provincial Provider Registry HL7 FHIR iGuide v1.0.0 (R4) | Closes May 21

Provincial Provider Registry FHIR iGuide R4

Many organizations across the province provide health care services and require access to up-to-date and accurate provider information. The role of the Provincial Provider Registry (PPR) is to serve as an authoritative provincial source for the electronic health record (EHR) of provider persons and provider organization/location information to:

• reduce manual efforts related to maintaining the provider information within point of care systems and provider repositories
• increase the accuracy of provider information by providing EHR contributors access to the most up-to-date provider information
• reduce exception-handling for provider correspondence (e.g. returned fax/mail)
• support authentication and authorization of provider persons and provider locations when providing or accessing information in Ontario’s EHR

The PPR maintains a comprehensive source of provider information received from different contributing sources, including:

• provider persons license data and identifiers from 13 regulatory colleges making up approximately 87% of all regulated health providers in the province
• Provider organization/location data from selected Regulatory Colleges (Midwifery Clinics and Pharmacies) and Land Information Ontario (LIO)
• provider persons and organization/location information from the Ministry of Health’s Corporate Providers DataBase (CPDB)
