| Realm | us |
| Authority | hl7 |
| Description | This value set is compliant with USCDI v3 requirements through HTI-1 final rule. As USCDI and other relevant terminologies are updated, this value set can be expanded to include additional sexual orientation identities. |
| Purpose | (Clinical Focus: This value set focuses on capturing an individual's self-reported sexual orientation. It provides a standardized approach to document this information in electronic health records and research settings. Understanding sexual orientation is crucial for providing inclusive and equitable healthcare.),(Data Element Scope: This value set defines core concepts related to sexual orientation. It goes beyond a simple binary option ("straight" or "not straight") to acknowledge the spectrum of sexual attraction.),(Inclusion Criteria: The value set includes terms for the most common sexual orientations: Heterosexual Bisexual Gay (encompassing both male and female homosexuality) Additionally, it includes more specific terms for bisexual individuals who identify as predominantly heterosexual or predominantly homosexual. These terms are included to acknowledge the diversity of experiences within the bisexual population, but their use is optional and depends on the specific data collection context.),(Exclusion Criteria: This value set excludes less common sexual orientation identities (e.g., asexual, pansexual) due to potential limitations of current standardized terminologies (USCDI v3). It does not capture details about an individual's sexual behavior or relationship history. Gender identity is a separate concept and not included in this value set.) |
