HPR on UHI
The HPR is the national register of health professionals. On UHI it names the person a patient is booking: the doctor in a consultation.
Where it appears
| Field | Stage | Required |
|---|---|---|
catalog.providers[].fulfillments[].agent.id | The catalogue an HSPA returns on search | Yes |
catalog.providers[].fulfillments[].agent.tags | The same catalogue entry | No |
order.fulfillment.agent.id | The order, from select onward | Yes |
chat.sender.person.id and chat.receiver.person.id | Chat, when the doctor is one end of it | Yes |
Two forms of the same identifier
The practitioner appears two ways in the same sample.
agent.id carries the readable address, <HPR_ADDRESS>. The tag block beside it carries
the numeric ID, @abdm/gov.in/hpr_id, as <HPR_ID>.
Send the address in agent.id. The tag is optional, and it sits with the other practitioner tags
The same block also carries: @abdm/gov.in/experience, /languages, /education, /hpr_id,
/hfr_id and /hip_id.
Where the ID comes from
Not from UHI. A professional is registered in the HPR through M4 on
HIE-CM, and UHI quotes what M4 wrote. If your HSPA lists a doctor who has no HPR ID, the
catalogue entry has no valid agent.id to carry, and there is no UHI call that will mint one.
