Healthdirect National Health Services Directory vs Kyruus Connect

Healthdirect National Health Services Directory (NHSD) provides nationally consistent information about health and related services to help consumers make appropriate choices. It makes 150,000 services accessible and is searched more than 2.2 million times each month across platforms. Listings can include location, contact details, hours, appointment availability, delivery mode, practitioner information, referrals, accessibility, payment options and secure messaging details. Healthdirect offers integrations through FHIR APIs, an embeddable widget and the Provider Appointments API. The responsive widget lets people search for services and can be placed on a webpage or in a mobile app using a code snippet. The appointments API supports real-time availability and online bookings through booking-provider integrations. Directory data aligns with the FHIR Australian Provider Directory Standard and uses SNOMED CT-AU terminology. Integration partner access is listed at free. Services maintain their own listings and are advised to review them at least every 12 months. New service types must meet eligibility criteria, including support by SNOMED CT-AU, community relevance and a trusted aggregate data source.
