Multi-Factor Authentication for Healthcare

Seamlessly authenticate members and providers to minimize security risk.


Healthcare sees more privacy breaches than any other industry, to the cost of more than 22 million dollars average per breach. Many healthcare organizations feel confident in their data security, but multiple points of access have put them more at risk for data breaches than ever before.


As healthcare organizations continue to move towards digitization -- making information available electronically to consumers and providers, a solid portal strategy is critical.

Healthcare portals can and should provide secure access to medical records and lab results, physician communications, scheduled appointments, prescription refills and more.

multifactor for healthcareMedical staff, pharmacists and pharma reps are also finding efficiencies in using these tools. Despite the growing use of portal technology across healthcare, privacy and security are cited as a primary concern among patients when accessing (or choosing not to access) the information contained within.

Healthcare data and patient information is an attractive asset to hackers. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in the hands of the wrong person not only leaves healthcare organizations exposed, but it puts patient lives at risk. To address these privacy and security concerns, LexisNexis® Risk Solutions developed a suite of solutions to provide security at each point of access, including multi-factor authentication to balance ease of access with security. Our solutions ensure security with a seamless experience for patients.

Multi-factor authentication, the process of authenticating a user through at least two independent elements or "factors," employs a combination of any two of the following:
