Title: Reengineering Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Workflows in Response to Novel Legislation
Description: In 2022, the State of New Jersey passed novel legislation mandating the collection of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) data by acute care hospitals. The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Department at Hackensack Meridian Health spearheaded a workgroup to develop multiple operational, educational and technical updates, and ensure compliance with the law. Educational materials for both team members and patients were developed, detailing the new workflows and reasons for collection of SOGI data. After initial go-live, a number of downstream concerns and challenges were identified in the EMR. These were addressed through further technical updates, allowing for a successful go-live, and a large increase in SOGI data collection.
