Bringing trusted identity assurance to healthcare facilities by linking vendor identities directly to their access credentials
CLEARWATER, Fla., Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Green Security, a leader in healthcare vendor operations and intelligence, today announced a partnership with CLEAR1, CLEAR's secure identity platform, to strengthen identity verification for vendors entering healthcare facilities. Together, CLEAR and Green Security will help organizations elevate security across the entire workplace ecosystem. By addressing the entirety of stakeholders entering and operating within a facility, the partnership enables a more comprehensive, end-to-end approach to identity, access, and trust.
The solution is designed to elevate healthcare safety and trust by authenticating credentialed vendors with advanced biometric technology, helping protect healthcare staff and patients while prioritizing privacy and security.
Green Security supports more than 8 million healthcare vendor interactions annually, making trusted identity verification a growing priority for hospitals seeking stronger access controls. CLEAR1 and Green Security have entered into a preferred partnership to extend proven identity measures to health systems designed to strengthen their physical security. Traditional printed badges can be copied, borrowed or transferred, creating a potential gap between the person wearing a badge, the identity recorded in a credentialing system and the facility access associated with that identity. Green Security's new identity-verified Smart Badge experience will be built with CLEAR1, and is designed to address that gap by connecting a vendor's verified identity with their Green Security mobile app, Smart Badge and credentials. Vendors simply upload a selfie to verify their identity with CLEAR in seconds to complete Green Security registration. CLEAR1 analyzes hundreds of signals—from biometrics, documents, and devices—and cross-checks them against verified data sources to confirm identity.
"Vendors are checking in roughly every 14 seconds around the clock, and hospitals shouldn't have to wonder whether the person wearing a badge is the person who completed credentialing," said Mickey Meehan, CEO, Green Security. "Our exclusive partnership with CLEAR sets a newer, higher standard for healthcare vendor access. It's a simple experience for vendors, but a major leap forward in trust and accountability for the healthcare user."
The partnership is expected to give health systems stronger assurance that:
- The person entering the facility is the same individual who completed credentialing requirements
- Vendor badges cannot be casually shared, transferred, or re-used by unauthorized individuals
- Identity verification occurs during check-in process and before a smart badge is activated, creating stronger accountability
"For more than a decade, CLEAR has helped people prove who they are in moments that matter," said David Bardan, SVP, GM, Head of Healthcare and Govtech at CLEAR. "We're bringing that same trusted identity experience to healthcare. Together with Green Security, we will be helping hospitals move beyond credentials alone to gain greater confidence that the right person is accessing the right place."
The companies see this integration as a further step toward a broader identity-first approach to healthcare facility access, where verified identity can help support compliance, security, and operational efficiency across the vendor ecosystem.
The partnership is expected to enhance security and support compliance without adding unnecessary friction for supplier representatives. Hospitals will gain greater confidence in vendor access, while representatives will benefit from a streamlined activation process designed around their mobile devices. The integration is expected to be live later this year.
