Clear, known for its expedited airport security lanes, has announced the results of a study conducted with Surescripts, a health information network. The case study highlights how Clear’s biometric-based identity verification technology improved the efficiency of Surescripts’ identity verification process for healthcare providers accessing its network.
But what exactly is Clear doing in the healthcare space? David Bardan, Clear’s head of healthcare, explained that the company’s technology can verify an individual’s identity across multiple healthcare systems, allowing them to carry their information with them as they navigate different providers. This is particularly relevant in cities like New York, where patients may receive care from multiple providers across different health systems, resulting in their information being fragmented across various electronic health records (EHRs).
How Clear’s Technology Works
Clear’s identity verification technology uses biometrics to confirm a person’s identity, ensuring that they are the same individual across different healthcare contexts. This can help streamline the process of accessing and sharing health information, reducing the administrative burden on healthcare providers and improving patient care.
Implications for Healthcare
The partnership between Clear and Surescripts has significant implications for the healthcare industry. By improving the efficiency and security of identity verification, Clear’s technology can help reduce the risk of data breaches and cyber attacks, while also enhancing the patient experience.
