St. Luke’s Health System has introduced the Hospital at Home program, enabling patients to receive hospital-level care in their own homes. Ronald Moser, a pneumonia patient, was one of the first to utilize this service, which alleviated his worries about leaving his wife in hospice care. As Idaho's first healthcare system to implement this model and the 40th in the U.S., the program emphasizes coordinated care with a team of healthcare professionals providing daily visits and monitoring. Moser reported a satisfactory experience, noting the quality of care matched that of traditional hospitals, while the home setting enhanced his recovery by allowing him to engage in familiar routines.

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.
