Abstract

Purpose: The study purpose was to describe the availability of sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation (SOGI) data in a large, Catholic health system.

Methods: A retrospective chart review on the Sisters of St. Mary (SSM) Health database was conducted from January 1, 2012, to March 27, 2024. The availability of SOGI data and number of sexual and gender minority patients was reported.

Results: Among the 5,759,869 records, data on sex was available for the majority of the population (99.9 percent); data on gender identity and sexual orientation were reported for smaller proportions (7.4 percent and 4.5 percent, respectively). Sex and gender were reported among 7.4 percent of the population. A total of 4,567 gender minority and 14,644 sexual minority patients were seen.

Conclusion: Though SOGI data were largely unavailable in the SSM Health database, the system has the capacity to separately record sex, gender, and sexual orientation, with a range of response options to capture gender and sexual orientation diversity.

性别、性别认同和性取向数据的可用性：2012-2023年天主教医疗保健系统的电子病历回顾。

目的：研究目的是描述一个大型天主教卫生系统中性、性别认同和性取向（SOGI）数据的可用性。方法：对2012年1月1日至2024年3月27日的圣玛丽姐妹健康数据库进行回顾性图表分析。报告了SOGI数据的可用性以及性少数和性别少数患者的数量。结果：在5,759,869条记录中，大多数人口（99.9%）可获得性别数据；有关性别认同和性取向的数据所占比例较小（分别为7.4%和4.5%）。7.4%的人口报告了性和性别。少数性别患者4567例，性少数患者14644例。结论：尽管SOGI数据在SSM Health数据库中大部分是不可用的，但该系统有能力分别记录性别、社会性别和性取向，并提供一系列响应选项来捕捉性别和性取向的多样性。
