They are actually severe clinical risks that need immediate attention.Jay Meier, Chief Identity Technology Strategist at FaceTec, joins Healthcare IT Today to discuss the realities of healthcare fraud and duplicate records. He breaks down how relying on basic passwords leaves health systems vulnerable and explains how verifiable human liveness completely changes the equation. You will learn why keeping biometric data out of centralized databases protects patients and how dual verification (different than two-factor authentication) at the point of care can stop phantom claims permanently.🔔 Subscribe for more great interviews with Health IT leaders.
