Direct, also commonly referred to as Direct Exchange and Direct Securing Messaging, is a national encryption standard for securely exchanging clinical healthcare data via the Internet. It specifies the secure, scalable, and standards-based method for the exchange of Protected Health Information (PHI). Direct was developed in 2010 as part of a federal project for standards-based healthcare communications and is a key component in the next stage of electronic health record implementation for many hospitals, health information exchanges (HIEs) and providers.
