we support U

 

UCLA Health is proud of our designation as a Leader in LGBTQ Healthcare Equality. As a continuation of delivering safe, equitable, affirming and quality care to all of our patients, we are pleased to announce that our organization will become one of the first in the nation to adopt systemwide electronic health record changes to support our LGBTQ patients.

On January 31, 2018, updates to our electronic health records will enable our patients and staff to have the ability to capture preferred names and pronouns that will be reflected throughout patient records. Additionally, a sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) SmartForm will enable documentation of items by our clinicians that will lay a foundation for truly groundbreaking work in system flexibility, precision and decision support.

Preferred name and preferred pronoun in electronic health records

Any patient can request a preferred name and pronoun be updated in our electronic health records. The request could come from a patient who prefers a nickname or from a patient whose gender identity does not match their legal identity.

The preferred name will appear in patient headers, ADT labels, inpatient face sheets, ambulatory face sheets and the department appointments report (DAR). The preferred pronoun will appear in patient headers and the DAR.

For front desk schedulers and patient access

  • Preferred name and preferred pronoun (tip sheet)
  • Live webinars for front office schedulers and patient access (webinars)

 

For providers

  • Sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) SmartForm (tip sheet)
  • Live webinars for providers (webinars)

 

Additional resources

  • Glossary and terminology related to SOGI: Fenway Institute's LGBT health care glossary (web resource)
