Optimum Healthcare IT, a Best in KLAS healthcare digital transformation and consulting firm, today announced a first-of-its-kind partnership with CLEAR, the secure identity company, to integrate its identity platform, CLEAR1, for fast, reliable identity verification for its workforce deployment process.
In an era where healthcare organizations face rising security threats, stricter compliance requirements, and an increasingly mobile workforce, this collaboration marks a proactive step toward redefining security standards in healthcare IT consulting. By embedding CLEAR’s trusted verification technology into its operations, Optimum is ensuring that every consultant deployed to a client project is thoroughly verified, delivering greater confidence, faster readiness, and uncompromising compliance.

”Optimum has always been committed to providing the most skilled, trusted consultants in healthcare IT. This partnership with CLEAR takes that commitment to the next level. We are setting a new benchmark for how talent is vetted and deployed, giving our clients peace of mind that the professionals supporting their systems and patients have been verified to the highest standard before they ever step on site.
Gene Scheurer, CEO, Optimum Healthcare IT
Optimum Healthcare IT deploys consultants to client engagements across a wide range of offerings, from large-scale EHR implementations and go-live support to training programs and staff augmentation. In many of these roles, consultants interact with patient health information (PHI) and mission-critical clinical systems. By integrating CLEAR into its consultant onboarding, Optimum is reinforcing client security, enhancing regulatory readiness, and accelerating project timelines; all without adding administrative burden for clients or consultants.
In addition to layering CLEAR1 into Optimum’s consultant onboarding process, ensuring that every professional we deploy has been thoroughly validated, CLEAR1 will also be integrated into Optimum’s proprietary SkillMarket® platform, which connects top-tier consultants with client opportunities. Once complete, this will allow consultants to verify with CLEAR within SkillMarket, further streamlining deployment and ensuring that verified professionals are prioritized for assignments. The result: clients gain rapid access to a pre-vetted pool of trusted experts ready to begin work immediately.
”This partnership is more than a security upgrade; it’s an operational advantage for our clients, added Scheurer. We’re making deployments faster, safer, and more efficient, which ultimately helps our clients focus on delivering exceptional patient care.
