Pro Santé Connect

Pro Santé Connect is a federator of identity providers that operates on the OpenID Connect standard. This system allows healthcare professionals to authenticate with connected services using their e-CPS smartphone app or CPS (Carte de Professionnel de Santé). By leveraging these tools, Pro Santé Connect allows healthcare professionals to securely and efficiently access the services they need, enhancing both their workflow and the security of the data they handle.

One of the key features of Pro Santé Connect is its ability to facilitate the transmission of verified professional data to service providers. When a healthcare professional authenticates through Pro Santé Connect, the system transmits a token to the service provider. This token contains standard identity traits such as surname, first name, and gender, as well as sector-specific identity traits like profession, expertise, and practice situation, all of which are sourced from the RPPS (Répertoire Partagé des Professionnels de Santé). In this way, service providers can verify the reliability of data and manage authorizations effectively, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity and security of sensitive healthcare services.

For healthcare professionals, Pro Santé Connect offers a secure and convenient way to authenticate using their e-CPS or CPS, ensuring their identity is reliably verified. Not only are passwordless authentication methods like this less vulnerable to cybercrime, but they also save considerable time and frustration for clinicians, decreasing their cognitive burden, and sparing more energy and focus for patient care.
