How to Build a Provider Directory from EHRs and Practice Management Systems with

Unified.to’s Healthcare API enables products to build provider directories by retrieving standardized Practitioner and Location data from 37 EHR and practice management integrations through a single connection, with requests made directly to each practice’s system for current information. Directories can support find-a-doctor pages, referral networks, booking flows, and credentialing by linking clinicians to sites and department hierarchies while displaying names, credentials, specialties, languages, NPIs, contact details, maps, and active-status information. Developers can list locations and practitioners through SDK methods, use parent location IDs to construct organizational trees, and filter clinicians by location, specialty codes, qualifications, languages, and availability. Data coverage varies among integrations, with some systems lacking fields such as photos, coordinates, or specialties, and athenahealth requiring providers and locations to be obtained through appointment and encounter IDs rather than directory listings. The directory is read-only because staff and site records remain managed in the source system, and organizations are advised to cache results and keep them current through supported native or virtual webhooks, updated-date queries, or daily refreshes; booking status can be inferred by checking clinicians’ available appointment slots.
