Objective: A FHIR based approach for building a national endpoint directory capability, focused on easing the ability to identify endpoints currently located in multiple locations by proposing a federated model that uses a single authoritative source of truth. Aims to ensure accuracy of the endpoint information and reduce burden to keep the information up to date.
