A Path to Inclusion: Design and Prototype of Transgender Identity in an Electronic Health Record.

With the purpose of reducing discrimination on gender, the Department of Health Informatics of the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires (HIBA) developed changes in its Patient Master Index to register chosen name and self-perceived gender identity. To improve the visualization of information related to the identity of each person to provide comprehensive quality care, it was decided to modify the impact of this information on the EHR. For this, prototypes were developed with changes in the patient identification module and then user-tests were carried out.
