What's inside

Referring providers are often granted access to EpicCare Link before anyone confirms they are who they claim to be. Identity checks at onboarding are inconsistent, largely manual, and easy to bypass, leaving health systems exposed to credential fraud, synthetic identities, and social engineering.

1Kosmos integrates document-based identity proofing and biometric liveness checks directly into EpicCare Link account provisioning, verifying every referring provider before access is ever granted. Now listed in Epic Toolbox: 1Kosmos Identity Verification for EpicCare Link.

Learn how this integration:

• Embeds identity verification directly into EpicCare Link account provisioning, with no custom development required on the health system side

• Verifies referring providers with government ID capture and biometric liveness checks before granting access to patient data

• Connects to Epic through OIDC to return verification results and enable the account automatically

• Gives health systems control over verification steps, user experience, and onboarding logic through 1Kosmos Workflow Builder

• Matches scanned ID documents against biometric data using multi-factor analysis, including device identity and authoritative sources

Provider onboarding runs on trust, not proof

Referring provider onboarding still runs on manual identity checks, if it runs on any at all. A name, a license number, and an email address are treated as proof enough to grant access to patient information, but none of it confirms the person behind the claim.

That's how credential fraud, synthetic identities, and social engineering get in, and it's why audits take longer to pass. Confirming who actually requested access, after the fact, takes time health systems don't have.

1Kosmos verifies identity before provisioning starts. A government ID scan and a biometric selfie confirm the provider is who they claim to be, and the result returns to Epic automatically, with no manual review and no custom development.
