The Identity Challenge Behind Healthcare Security
Healthcare organizations have a unique identity problem: verifying patients, providers, and staff quickly enough to avoid disrupting care, while meeting HIPAA and other regulatory demands. Fraudulent claims, synthetic patient identities, and unauthorized access to records are rising, putting pressure on legacy systems when patients need care most. What healthcare needs is identity verification built for both speed and scrutiny.
Build Trust Across the Patient Journey
Onboarding a new patient remotely for telehealth services requires robust healthcare identity verification and data security to ensure everything is done correctly. Granting staff access to sensitive network locations or exchanging sensitive health records only after robust identification is the core of secure patient care.
Entrust provides healthcare organizations with the tools they need to verify identities, control access, and protect patient data – while ensuring seamless experiences and supporting compliance.

FAQs
Does Entrust IDV support HIPAA compliance?
Yes. Entrust IDV provides auditable, documented identity verification that supports HIPAA and other healthcare regulatory requirements. This helps demonstrate compliance without adding friction to patient or provider onboarding.
Can Entrust IDV verify both patients and healthcare providers?
Yes. Entrust IDV supports identity verification across your full healthcare ecosystem. This includes patient onboarding and telehealth sign-ups to verifying providers and staff accessing sensitive systems and records.
How does Entrust IDV help prevent healthcare fraud?
Entrust IDV detects synthetic identities and fraudulent sign-ups using AI-powered document intelligence, biometrics, and behavioural risk signals. This helps healthcare organizations stop fraud at onboarding before it results in fraudulent claims or unauthorized access to patient records.
What is identity verification?
Identity verification confirms that a person is who they claim to be, typically by checking government-issued documents, biometrics, or both. In healthcare, it’s used to authenticate patients, providers, and staff before granting access to care or systems.
How does digital identity verification work?
It combines document scanning, biometric matching (like facial recognition), and liveness detection to confirm identity remotely in real time. AI-powered checks flag inconsistencies or signs of fraud within seconds.
Why is identity verification important for digital onboarding?
It makes sure the person requesting access is genuinely who they claim to be before any credential or record access is granted. This reduces fraud risk while keeping onboarding fast and remote-friendly.
How can identity verification help prevent fraud?
It catches fraudulent documents, synthetic identities, and impersonation attempts before they result in unauthorized access or fraudulent claims. Catching these at the point of verification stops fraud before it enters the system.
Can identity verification detect deepfakes?
Yes. Liveness detection and AI-powered biometric analysis are designed to catch deepfakes, spoofed photos, and other synthetic media used in impersonation attempts. This adds a layer of protection above traditional document checks.
