electronic prescribing of controlled substances medical

"electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS)"

The electronic prescribing of controlled substances is the transmission of prescriptions for federally or state‑regulated controlled drugs (typically schedules II–V) from an authorized prescriber to a pharmacy using certified electronic systems that meet regulatory security and authentication requirements. Such systems replace paper or faxed prescriptions and incorporate identity proofing, multi‑factor authentication for prescribers, encrypted transmission, and audit trails or recordkeeping as required by drug‑control authorities and applicable laws; not all e‑prescribing software qualifies unless it complies with those specific regulatory standards.

identity proofing technical

"identity proofing for individual and institutional practitioners"

Identity proofing is the process businesses use to confirm someone is who they claim to be, often by checking documents, biometric data, or digital records—think of showing a passport and answering a few questions before getting access. For investors, strong identity proofing matters because it reduces the risk of fraud, regulatory penalties, and reputation damage, and it affects customer onboarding speed and ongoing compliance costs, all of which can influence a company's financial performance.

two-factor authentication technical

"two-factor authentication, biometric, credential revocation"

A security method that requires two different proofs of identity before granting access to an account or system — typically something you know (like a password) plus something you have (like a code on your phone) or something you are (like a fingerprint). For investors it matters because it greatly reduces the chance of unauthorized trades, account theft or data breaches, helping protect portfolio value and a company’s reputation.

credential revocation technical

"two-factor authentication, biometric, credential revocation"

Removal by an issuing authority of a previously granted authorization, license, certificate, or access right so the holder no longer legally or technically may use the credential. Revocation is an active decision (often recorded in a public or internal register) triggered by reasons such as fraud, misconduct, violation of rules, loss of required qualifications, or security compromise; it differs from suspension (temporary withdrawal) and from expiration (lapse at a set date). The practical effect is that the person, company, device, or system loses the specific privileges the credential conferred until, if ever, the authority restores or reissues authorization.

ehr audit trail technical

"EHR audit trail and prescriber validation capabilities"

A EHR audit trail is an automated, time-stamped record that logs actions taken in an electronic health record system — who accessed or changed a patient record, when and from which device or user account, and what type of action occurred (view, create, modify, delete, export). It is implemented as system logs or append-only entries used to meet privacy and security rules, support investigations and compliance reviews, and reconstruct events; audit trails may capture metadata and versions rather than always preserving a human-readable full copy of every prior screen state.

CLEAR1 in Epic Toolbox now helps health systems verify outside providers and prescribing clinicians

NEW YORK, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CLEAR® (NYSE: YOU), the secure identity company, today announced that CLEAR1, CLEAR's secure identity platform, is live in two new integrations in Epic Toolbox. One is for EpicCare Link, the portal community providers use to reach a health system's patient records, and the other is for electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS). Secure access starts with a single trusted identity, and these new integrations power new use cases for care teams and health system employees.

Healthcare workforce identity remains fragmented across hiring, login, account recovery, and prescribing workflows. Doctors, nurses, and staff are often required to prove who they are repeatedly, creating friction, slowing access to the tools they need, and introducing gaps that can be exploited through stolen credentials or increasingly sophisticated deepfakes. CLEAR1 already works with numerous health systems around the country to securely verify identities for employees and clinicians, streamlining access to clinical systems, applications, and facilities, supporting a safer, more efficient care environment. With these two integrations, CLEAR1 now powers more steps in the care team journey.

EpicCare Link for working with community providers. Health systems might rely on paper forms and manual reviews to give community and affiliated providers access to EpicCare Link. With CLEAR1, health systems can now verify providers during onboarding, and providers can create their own accounts by verifying with a selfie and a government ID. First announced in August 2025, the integration is now live and available in the Identity Verification for EpicCare Link Epic Toolbox Category.

Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances. Prescribing controlled medications requires strong proof of who is at the keyboard, without slowing down clinicians. Health systems can select CLEAR1 to verify clinicians who register to prescribe, and also to verify the person at the moment of prescribing, creating a safer, more frictionless experience. CLEAR1 has achieved Drummond Certified® status (independent testing and certification conducted by Drummond Group, LLC). The certification confirms that its identity proofing for individual and institutional practitioners, two-factor authentication, biometric, credential revocation, and EHR audit trail and prescriber validation capabilities meet applicable DEA requirements for electronic prescribing under 21 CFR Part 1311.

The integration is now live and available in the End User Authentication Epic Toolbox Category.

"Secure access shouldn't have to come at the expense of a delightful onboarding experience," said Kristin Milano, AVP, Cybersecurity, Ochsner Health. "CLEAR's integration with EpicCare Link creates an opportunity to make identity verification easier for referring providers and their staff while maintaining the trust and security these workflows require."

"Doctors and nurses shouldn't spend their shifts proving who they are," said David Bardan, SVP, General Manager and Head of Healthcare at CLEAR. "Getting into a patient's chart and prescribing a controlled medication are two more places they no longer have to start from scratch. We're using secure identity to make healthcare safer and easier for care teams, from the first day to the first patient, and every shift after."

Using CLEAR is simple and secure. After a quick one-time setup using a government-issued ID, users can re-verify in seconds with just a selfie, within their health system or anywhere CLEAR1 is used, designed to offer a frictionless alternative to paper forms, manual reviews, or passwords alone.

These integrations follow CLEAR's recent announcement that it has been selected by the US Department of Veterans Affairs for a new pilot initiative to modernize the veteran experience on VA.gov. The VA serves a community of roughly 17 million living U.S. Veterans and operates the nation's largest integrated health care system, serving 9.1 million enrolled Veterans each year.

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.
