Tom Sullivan, MD Testifies in Front of ONC
Once again, DrFirst Chief Strategy and Privacy Officer, Tom Sullivan, MD, has been asked to share his expert opinion on the identify proofing for doctors. This time, before the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), at a hearing on “Sharing Trusted Identities in Cyberspace.”
In a nutshell, Dr. Sullivan’s belief is that “physicians and selected other clinical providers are among the most highly credentialed and authenticated professionals in our society.”
Dr. Sullivan also repeated what is quickly becoming his mantra: “Everyone knows the first rule of medicine is: ‘Primum non nocere’ which is translated from the Latin to mean ‘First, do no harm’.” Dr. Sullivan indicated the second rule of medicine should be: “Secundo, tardus ne me” meaning “Second, don’t slow me down.”
