Nordic and CLEAR partner to enhance healthcare information security.

Nordic, a global health and technology consulting company, has partnered with CLEAR to enhance healthcare information security and streamline patient and provider access across the healthcare ecosystem. The partnership aims to offer healthcare organizations a seamless and secure way to manage electronic health records (EHR) accounts, enabling them to be faster, more efficient, and simpler in their operations.

Nordic, a leading global health and technology consulting company, has partnered with CLEAR, a secure identity company, to enhance healthcare information security and streamline patient and provider access across the healthcare ecosystem. The collaboration aims to provide healthcare organizations with a seamless and secure way to manage electronic health records (EHR) accounts, thereby improving efficiency and patient care.

The partnership leverages CLEAR's reusable identity platform, CLEAR1, which is compliant with NIST IAL2/AAL2 standards. CLEAR1 offers a privacy-centric credential system that allows patients and providers to access services across the care journey without repeated identity checks. This integration addresses the critical pain point of manual identity verification processes, which often lead to increased administrative workload and cybersecurity risks [1].

Steve Eckert, chief growth officer at Nordic, expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration: "Healthcare organizations are investing in modernizing their systems to be faster, more efficient, and simpler across their EHRs. Our goal is to serve as our clients' one-stop-shop to develop a holistic plan to solve their most pressing challenges and better serve their patients and communities" [1].

David Bardan, General Manager and Head of Healthcare at CLEAR, emphasized the importance of technology in healthcare: "As healthcare organizations seek to do more with less, the convenience and efficiency of technology should not sacrifice security. Through our single reusable identity, we see benefits across the entire healthcare ecosystem—patients enjoy streamlined access to their health information and services without repeated identity checks, while providers can verify individuals quickly and focus on delivering care without administrative delays" [1].

This strategic partnership represents a significant expansion opportunity for CLEAR's healthcare identity verification business. By partnering with Nordic, which serves over 700 healthcare organizations globally, CLEAR gains access to a substantial distribution channel for its CLEAR1 identity platform. This partnership could potentially create a new recurring revenue stream through enterprise licensing models [2].

The collaboration addresses a critical pain point in healthcare: manual identity verification processes that create administrative burden and security vulnerabilities. CLEAR1's NIST IAL2/AAL2-compliant identity layer offers a reusable digital credential that can streamline access across multiple touchpoints in the healthcare journey. This partnership also validates CLEAR's technology in the highly regulated healthcare space, where privacy and security standards are exceptionally stringent [2].
