Summary
Epic is enhancing its patient identity verification by partnering with CLEAR to integrate secure identity verification tools within its Epic Toolbox, accessible via MyChart. This collaboration aims to streamline patient account creation and recovery processes while reducing administrative burdens on healthcare staff. The embedded tool will automate identity verification, thus improving cybersecurity and patient experience for over 27 million existing CLEAR users, who can authenticate their identities using a selfie. As CLEAR expands from its established biometric ID checks in airports into healthcare, this integration reflects a growing trend toward streamlined digital authentication in medical settings.
