Capturing sexual orientation and gender identity information in electronic medical records to inform the person-centred care of sexual and gender minority people
This study presented an in-depth exploration of how SOGI capture can inform the person-centred care of SGM people if staff are aware of SGM healthcare issues, and if SOGI capture is done according to patient preference and consent and is normalised through mandatory questions. Insights and recommendations generated from this study can inform local and international policies and processes in the implementation of SOGI capture such that it can inform person-centred care for SGM people.
