Tap-and-Login with Verified Trust: Modernizing Clinical Identity for Faster, Safer Care

The pressure to deliver faster, more efficient care is challenging many providers at the same they are navigating rising cyber threats, workforce shortages, and growing operational complexity. Yet one of the biggest barriers to care remains invisible: clinical identity friction. Manual onboarding, fragmented credentialing, and outdated access systems slow clinicians down, increase administrative burden, and create security vulnerabilities. At the same time, threats like clinical fraud, impersonation, and helpdesk social engineering are accelerating, putting both patient safety and organizational operations at risk.

This executive brief from Ping Identity explores how healthcare organizations can modernize clinical workforce identity with a cloud-native, passwordless approach, enabling fast, secure, and seamless access from day one.

What you’ll learn in this executive brief

• Why identity friction is a barrier to care delivery
• How clinical fraud and identity threats are evolving
• How to modernize onboarding with verified identity
• How passwordless Tap-and-Login improves clinician workflows
• How to reduce helpdesk risk and operational burden
• How a unified, cloud-native identity platform reduces costs

Why This Matters

Healthcare identity is rapidly becoming a frontline issue for both care delivery and cybersecurity:

• Clinician onboarding delays are limiting bedside capacity
• Identity-based attacks and impersonation are increasing
• Helpdesks are emerging as a major vulnerability
• Access friction is contributing to burnout and inefficiency

At the same time, clinicians need fast, seamless access to systems across increasingly complex environments—including shared devices, virtual desktops, and distributed care settings.

Modern identity approaches—built on verified trust, passwordless access, and continuous authentication—enable healthcare organizations to remove friction without compromising security.
