LGBTQ advocates are pushing a federal agency to include the collection of sexual orientation and gender identity among patients health records when it releases an update this summer on what information should be exchanged between heath care providers, governmental agencies, and other groups.
The federal Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT is expected to publish on July 1 version 2 of the United States Core Data for Interoperability, known as USCDI v2. It sets the standards nationwide for health information exchange and establishes the baseline for what data is commonly exchanged across care settings for a wide range of uses.
