My organisation bought a new electronic health record from the biggest EHR company and there's something really cool that is totally different from the half dozen systems I've used before: there are multiple sex and gender fields so the medical record can accurately show the patient's preferred name, correct pronoun, medical-care relevant, and organ-specific information. So if I understand right, front end staff will just see correct pronoun. Medical providers can see a flag indicating trans.
@Latkes That's great! I worked on an EHR system maybe seven years ago and the listed genders were something like male, female, other, and unknown. Just not having a binary choice seemed great at the time. Now actually having a flag and pronouns? Just fantastic.
@julianproxy Wow. I've never seen a non binary choice! I don't think our new system will have either... But I think there will be a free text field?
@Latkes That's fantastic!
