The collaboration aims to streamline password reset processes and improve identity verification across the health system, reducing the burden on support services while enhancing overall security, according to a Sept. 25 news release shared with Becker’s.
Healthcare service desks are frequently targeted by individuals impersonating employees or patients in attempts to reset passwords and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. To address this, Community Health Network is transitioning from multi-factor authentication, which verifies devices, to CLEAR Verified, a system that directly authenticates individuals to better mitigate these risks.
The rollout of CLEAR will begin in September, starting with employee password resets and later expanding to patient access for MyChart accounts and visitor registration.
This move follows a successful pilot at Community, where 90% of targeted employees adopted CLEAR, eliminating 6,000 annual password reset calls and freeing up support staff to focus on patient care, according to the release.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
