ARLINGTON, Va.: #HealthIT--Surescripts®, the nation's leading health information network, has partnered with CLEAR, a secure identity platform, to further enhance its identity verification technology infrastructure.

CLEAR’s identity proofing technology will support Surescripts Network Alliance participants, including providers, pharmacies, and payers, by streamlining validation and ongoing identity verification to directly access the Surescripts network’s clinical and technical tools.

The partnership with CLEAR adds another layer of identity validation protections while also increasing efficiency, providing a more automated and simplified experience for healthcare providers and organizations.

“Our partnership with CLEAR is another example of how we are safeguarding the Surescripts Network Alliance to protect personal health information and patient safety and remain committed to providing innovative digital identity verification and reliability at scale,” said Tara Dragert, Chief Product Officer for Surescripts. “As we focus on simplifying health intelligence sharing, it's essential that we continue to enforce rigorous security standards while maintaining efficiency, ensuring clinicians and healthcare professionals have timely access to the clinical and benefit information they need to deliver quality, safe, and less costly care for their patients.”

“Partnering with CLEAR will ensure that customers and providers can securely and efficiently access the information needed to care for their patients via the Surescripts network,” said Judy Hatchett, Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer for Surescripts. “It is imperative that we continue innovating to make patient care safer and better informed. This partnership will reinforce our identity management capabilities and optimization tools that make it easy for clinicians and those supporting patient care to confidently access the right information for the right patient, from the right source, and communicate with the right prescriber or pharmacy.”

“At CLEAR, we believe identity is foundational to making experiences safer and easier, especially in healthcare,” said David Bardan, Head of Healthcare, CLEAR. “We’re thrilled to bring our secure, reusable identity platform to Surescripts to improve trust, reduce fraud, and eliminate friction for providers and healthcare organizations.”
