Nordic, a healthcare and technology consulting firm, has announced a strategic partnership with CLEAR, an identity verification company, to modernize access and security in the healthcare sector. The collaboration will focus on simplifying patient and provider interactions with electronic health record (EHR) systems while reducing risks tied to manual verification. Through this agreement, Nordic will integrate CLEAR1, a reusable identity platform compliant with NIST IAL2/AAL2 standards, into
CLEAR1 enables patients and providers to use a single, privacy-focused credential to access multiple services across the care journey, from account setup to claims management. By replacing repetitive identity checks, the platform aims to cut administrative burden while enhancing security. David Bardan, General Manager and Head of Healthcare at CLEAR, commented, “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.” This partnership positions both companies to address critical challenges of data security, patient experience, and operational efficiency across healthcare organizations in North America and beyond.
