DirectTrust, a nonprofit health partnership, announced Tuesday that it has purchased SAFE Identity’s assets, including its trust framework. SAFE Identity has one of the longest-standing trust frameworks in healthcare, according to corporate spokespeople, as an industry consortium and certifying body supporting identity assurance in healthcare. “With its incorporation into DirectTrust, the SAFE community is about to embark on a new chapter to remain in lockstep with the progress being made in the realm of digital identity across healthcare,” said Kyle Neuman, currently managing director at SAFE and the incoming director of trust framework development at DirectTrust.
