Today, many healthcare systems rely on manual identity and security verification approaches that can often lead to increased administrative workload and pose cybersecurity risks. Nordic, an established partner to more than 700 healthcare organizations around the globe, will leverage CLEAR’s reusable identity platform for healthcare businesses, CLEAR1, for organizations seeking ways to simplify and secure the user experience for patients and providers.
CLEAR1 is a trusted, NIST IAL2/AAL2-compliant identity layer that underpins partner ecosystems across healthcare—providing patients and providers with a reusable, privacy-centric credential to access services across the care journey, from creating a patient account to verifying coverage and accessing claims data.
“As healthcare organizations are seeking to do more with less, we believe that the convenience and efficiency of technology should not sacrifice security,” said David Bardan, General Manager and Head of Healthcare, CLEAR. “Through our single reusable identity, we see benefits across the entire healthcare ecosystem–patients enjoy streamlined access to their health information and services without repeated identity checks, while providers can verify individuals quickly and focus on delivering care without administrative delays. We’re excited to collaborate with Nordic to provide these security measures for patients and clinics.”
