    Description

      We are working for years trying to separate the concept of Sex and Gender. They are different concept and should not be combined into one data element. Now, you combined it into one data element. We are back to square one? What if I have my recorded sex that is different from my recorded gender? How is this implemented? You pick one (Patient's sex, sex assigned at birth, gender identity, sex). If so, it is interchangable?
