By GlobalDataSince its rollout, TGH has automated 80% of account recovery requests, cut multi-factor authentication reset times from 4.5 days to 20 minutes, and reduced account-related support calls by 22%.
The integration also replaced the hospital’s 90-day password reset cycle with biometric multi-factor authentication.
The deployment, embedded within Ping Identity’s PingOne DaVinci platform, required no custom development and was completed in under three weeks.
Staff identities are verified using a government-issued ID and a selfie during initial setup, creating a privacy-protected identity for future use.
TGH intends to extend CLEAR-powered identity verification to patient-facing systems, including Epic MyChart, to support secure digital access across clinical workflows.
CLEAR CEO Caryn Seidman Becker said: “CLEAR is proud to bring our secure, trusted identity platform into TGH’s security ecosystem.
“With our multi-layered approach to identity, we help organisations protect against today’s cyber threats while giving healthcare professionals a faster, easier way to get back to caring for patients.”
