Usage Notes

Profile specific implementation guidance:

• This profile supports patient gender identity aligned to Australian Bureau of Statics Standard for Sex, Gender, Variations of Sex Characteristics and Sexual Orientation Variables, 2020 using the Individual Gender Identity extension and the Gender Identity Response value set.
  • Man or male may be represented by sending the SNOMED CT code 446151000124109|Identifies as male gender|
  • Woman or female may be represented by sending the SNOMED CT code 446141000124107|Identifies as female gender|
  • Non-binary may be represented by sending the SNOMED CT code 33791000087105|Identifies as nonbinary gender|, see example Patient/example4
  • [I/They] use a different term (please specify) may be represented by sending only text and no code, see example Patient/example7
  • Prefer not to answer may be represented by sending the Data Absent Reason code “asked-declined”, see example Patient/example0
  • Not stated or inadequately described may be represented by the Data Absent Reason code “unknown”
  • Where the workflow does not support obtaining a gender identity value, it may be represented by sending the Data Absent Reason code “not-asked”
• This profile supports indvidual pronouns using the Individual Pronouns extension and the Australian Pronouns value set supplied as the individual pronoun value.
  • they/them/their/theirs/themselves may be represented by sending the LOINC Answer (LA) code LA29520-6
  • she/her/her/hers/herself may be represented by sending the LOINC Answer (LA) code LA29519-8, see example Patient/example-sex-and-gender
  • he/him/his/his/himself may be represented by sending the LOINC Answer (LA) code LA29518-0
  • Prefer not to answer may be represented by sending the Data Absent Reason code “asked-declined”
  • Asked but not known may be represented by sending the Data Absent Reason code “asked-unknown”
  • Not stated or inadequately described may be represented by the Data Absent Reason code “unknown”
  • Where the workflow does not support obtaining a pronoun, it may be represented by sending the Data Absent Reason code “not-asked”
  • Where a preferred pronoun is provided but is not one of the Australian Pronouns terms then a text only or alternative specific coded value can be supplied.
• This profile supports a recorded sex or gender (RSG) value using the using the Person Recorded Sex Or Gender extension. RSG information includes the various sex and gender concepts that are often used in existing systems but are known NOT to represent a gender identity, sex parameter for clinical use, or attributes related to sexuality, such as sexual orientation, sexual activity, or sexual attraction. Blank cells in the table indicate that the given element is absent from the resource.

  RSG information to represent	extension:value	extension:type	extension:sourceDocument	extension:sourceField	extension:jurisdiction
  Sex and gender information from a document, e.g. Australian passport or driver's license.	The sex or gender value.	"document"	SHALL use an appropriate value from Common AU Recorded Sex or Gender (RSG) Source Document Type value set if any of the codes within the value set can apply to the concept being communicated, e.g. "passport".	The name of the field within the source document where this information is recorded, e.g. "Sex".	SHALL use an appropriate value from Common AU Recorded Sex or Gender (RSG) Source Document Jurisdiction value set if any of the codes within the value set can apply to the concept being communicated. If representing an Australian document use "AU" or the applicable state or territory code.
  Sex and gender information in use in services and infrastructure, e.g. HI Services or My Health Record.	The sex or gender value.	SHALL use an appropriate value from Common AU Recorded Sex or Gender Type value set if any of the codes within the value set can apply to the concept being communicated, e.g. "au-hi-service".

• When exchanging concepts of sex or gender, refer to the guidance in the Gender Harmony Implementation Guide.
• Need for an interpreter service can be represented with the interpreterRequired extension set to “true”
  • If the language for interpreter service is known, the language is included in Patient.communication.language and Patient.communication.preferred is set to “true”.
  • If Patient.communication.preferred has not been included, or is set to “false”, systems should understand this as the language for the interpreter service is not known.
• See each Identifier profile page for guidance related to that identifier type.
