Health Practitioner Index
The principal purpose of the HPI is to uniquely identify health practitioners and to hold that information in a central, national database for use by the New Zealand health and disability sector.
The HPI uniquely identifies health practitioners, practitioner organisations (employers) and facilities (the physical address where the health care takes place) in three separate indexes.
The HPI will help the New Zealand health sector to find better and more secure ways to access and transfer health-related information.
