Key Terms

4 terms

ehrs technical

"Because CLEAR1 embeds directly into core platforms like EHRs, patient portals..."

Electronic health records (EHRs) are digital versions of patients’ medical charts that store diagnoses, test results, prescriptions and treatment histories in a searchable, shareable format—think of them as a secure, cloud-accessible filing cabinet for a person’s health information. Investors care because widespread EHR use shapes healthcare costs, compliance, and service efficiency; EHR vendors, hospitals and health-tech firms can see revenue and risk tied to adoption rates, data security, and how easily systems exchange information.

kantara initiative regulatory

"CLEAR1 is Full Service certified by the Kantara Initiative for NIST Identity..."

An industry organization that develops standards and best practices for digital identity, authentication and privacy, helping companies prove who they are and how they handle personal data. For investors, alignment with these standards is like a company using a trusted bank — it reduces the chance of costly security breaches, regulatory fines, or customer distrust, and can speed adoption of new services by making them work smoothly with other platforms.

nist identity assurance level 2 (ial2) regulatory

"certified by the Kantara Initiative for NIST Identity Assurance Level 2 (IAL2)..."

NIST Identity Assurance Level 2 (IAL2) is a U.S. government standard that specifies the checks a service must perform to confirm a person’s real-world identity before issuing a digital ID; it typically requires presentation and verification of identity documents and corroboration against authoritative records, then links those verified attributes to a user’s account. For investors, IAL2 indicates a moderate-to-strong protection against identity fraud, helps meet regulatory and customer trust expectations, and can influence compliance costs, user adoption, and liability—much like installing a reliable lock instead of a simple latch.

authenticator assurance level 2 (aal2) regulatory

"and Authenticator Assurance Level 2 (AAL2), high-assurance standards..."

Authenticator Assurance Level 2 (AAL2) is a security standard that requires stronger digital identity checks than basic passwords, typically involving two different ways to prove who you are—such as a password plus a one-time code, a biometric, or a hardware token. For investors, AAL2 matters because it lowers the risk of account takeover and fraud, supports regulatory compliance, and protects customer trust, which can affect a company’s operational costs and reputation.

Expansion of CLEAR1 to Three New States Demonstrates Fast-Growing Adoption of Seamless Patient and Employee Experiences

NEW YORK, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CLEAR (NYSE: YOU), the secure identity company, today announced a partnership with Ochsner Health (Ochsner) that will enhance identity experiences across patient and employee workflows and lead to strengthened security and streamlined access to care across the Gulf South.

Ochsner's implementation of CLEAR1 – CLEAR's secure identity platform for account creation, account recovery, and access to healthcare information – is already helping patients quickly and safely regain access to their MyOchsner accounts while reducing manual identity checks. Since launch, more than 10,000 patients have been able to reset their passwords with CLEAR. Future phases will expand CLEAR1 to support patient account creation within MyOchsner and employee account recovery.

As the leading nonprofit healthcare provider in the Gulf South, Ochsner's dedicated team of more than 40,000 members and 5,000 employed and affiliated physicians spans 47 hospitals and more than 370 health and urgent care centers, caring for upwards of 1.6 million patients every year. With CLEAR1, Ochsner will provide patients and employees with modern, digital tools that will result in more seamless identity experiences when they access systems – no matter where they do so across the health system.

"CLEAR is proud that we're continuing to expand the ways we safely and securely connect people to their identity – and we're thrilled that Ochsner is already seeing a 93% success rate in its implementation of CLEAR1 for patient account recovery," said David Bardan, SVP, General Manager of Healthcare and GovTech at CLEAR. "This partnership underscores our commitment to creating simple digital experiences for the patients and employees of trusted healthcare leaders, so they can spend more time on what matters most: patient care and recovery."

"At Ochsner, we know protecting patients starts with protecting identity. We're proud to proactively strengthen how identity is verified through our partnership with CLEAR, and look forward to expanding the ways CLEAR1 is used across our networks, so everyone in our system can securely access the information they need, when they need it," said Amy Trainor, system vice president and Chief Information Officer.

CLEAR1 gives Ochsner a single, consistent way to verify identity across its entire footprint — from MyOchsner and other patient access points to employee verification workflows, where it is expected to give tens of thousands of team members a faster, more secure way to access the systems they rely on everyday. Because CLEAR1 embeds directly into core platforms like EHRs, patient portals, and clinician tools, each phase of the rollout will support broader adoption across Ochsner's ecosystem and reduce the friction and manual processes that come with managing identity at scale. 

CLEAR1 is Full Service certified by the Kantara Initiative for NIST Identity Assurance Level 2 (IAL2) and Authenticator Assurance Level 2 (AAL2), high-assurance standards that are foundational to trusted healthcare data exchange.
