We can see in the registration (CEMR 9.12) two new fields:
Gender Identity (Person.GenderIdentityID)
Sexual Orientaiton (Person.SexualOrientationID)
So...
Are these available within MEL, and thus able to be displayed on a banner or form in some manner?
Is anyone using these yet?
Thanks.
Joe
There should be a PATIENT.GENDERIDENTITY and a PATIENT.SEXUALORIENTATION available. I know they are in CPS 12.3. If they aren't in the help, check the Quick Text and the Insert Symbol button and see if they are in that list.
I can't find them in the Help at all in CPS 12.3.1. They were there in CPS 12.3.0.
Are those MEL symbols in the help in versions higher than CPS 12.3.1?
It may be an undocumented feature. 🙂
I do not see it in HELP, but did the following in a quicktext
Gender: {PATIENT.GENDERIDENTITY}
Orientation: {PATIENT.SEXUALORIENTATION}
And after setting in the Registration screen, get
Gender: Identifies as Male
Orientation: Straight or heterosexual
Here is how we use it our patient banner -
{PATIENT.LABELNAME} {PATIENT.FORMATTEDAGE},
{PATIENT.SEX} (DOB: {Patient.DateOfBirth})
PID: {PATIENT.PATIENTID}
{if PATIENT.PSTATUS = "X" then "DECEASED: " + PATIENT.DATEOFDEATH else "" endif}
GENDER: {PATIENT.GENDERIDENTITY} Sex Orien: {PATIENT.SEXUALORIENTATION}
