Add both "Secondary Name" (aka Preferred Name) and "Admin Gender" (aka Gender Identity) on the patient's banner, but keep the "legal name" and "birth sex" on there as well to prevent confusion. It is confusing for staff and offensive for the patient (to keep repeating themselves) if the patient goes by another name and/or identifies as another gender. The only thing apparent on the patient banner is the Legal Name and Birth Sex for most of the staff's view (Nursing, ancillary). However, on the "provider's view," it does show "Admin Gender" (aka Gender Identity the pt currently identifies as). There's no good "sticky note" for all, unless you know where to go on the Patient Profile or make a "comment" on the pt's chart on the RN view.
With the 21.08 release, the Preferred Pronouns will are available on hover over of the Gender Identity. Adding the Preferred Name to the ID panel is something we will be working on for the HTI-1 regulatory requirements.
The standards we use for Birth Sex and Administrative Sex do not include an option for Intersex.
Will this update also include the option of 'Intersex' in the Birth Sex field in addition to the current Male/Female option since the patient's sex is factored into specific results, administered medications and overall medical health of a patient?
With the 21.05 release, we have added the Gender Identity updated in Health History to the new Patient ID panel next to the Birth Sex field. We plan to add pronouns as a hover over the Gender Identity field in a future release. We are looking to include a 'preferred name' to the right of the patient name field in the Patient ID Panel on a future release.
We would like to be able to see this on pharmacy screens as well, as we do spend time meeting with patients.
