Precise ID Embedded in Epic MyChart
This new rapid response implementation is driven by best practices embedded in Epic MyChart®. Precise ID offers several operational benefits including streamlining patient portal enrollment, eliminating manual work processes for staff, and preventing long call center wait times for patients. Last year, it verified nearly 1 billion identities assisting individuals in their journey to access healthcare information, verify employment status, and access personal financial applications and websites. The product is used by more than 2,000 organizations spanning many industries in addition to healthcare such as government, financial services, retail and insurance.
“We are very pleased to be collaborating with Epic to make this essential tool readily available for healthcare organizations so they can ensure their patient authentication tool is turn-key,” said Tom Cox, general manager, Experian Health. “With the uptick in fraud since the pandemic started, coupled with the need to efficiently verify patient identities in activities tied to Covid-19 testing and vaccine distribution, we know our authentication solution can aid providers with both security and speed.”
