Directory
Find, manage, and understand who you can exchange data with
The eHealth Exchange Directory provides trusted visibility into the organizations and locations participating in data exchange across the network. It enables participants to identify who is exchanging data, where requests originate, and under whose authority—supporting transparency, accountability, and confidence in every exchange.
Supporting Trust & Transparency
Accurate directory information is foundational to trusted health information exchange.
Under OPP-17, participants are required to clearly identify their organization and any sub-participants that exchange data on their behalf.
By keeping directory information current, participants help:
- Ensure others on the network can easily understand who is requesting data and why
- Support informed exchange decisions by partners and clinicians
- Maintain trust in a nationwide, multi-network exchange environment
- Strengthen trust across the network for everyone involved
Two Ways toAccess and Manage Your Directory Endpoints
Participants can access and manage directory information in more than one way, depending on their workflow and technical needs. All access methods connect to the same underlying directory data and support compliance with OPP-17.
My Directory Portal
A human-readable, self-service experience

Best for:
- Administrators on onboarding teams
- Manual management of sub-participants
- Annual reviews and updates
FHIR Directory API
Read only, system-to-system directory access
The FHIR Directory API enables participants to integrate directory consumption into their systems and workflows. It is designed for organizations that require large-scale, real-time access to directory data.
Best for:
- Technical and engineering teams
- Automated directory consumption
- System-to-system integrations
