Abstract:
|
Medical organizations have encouraged collection of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) information in patients' medical records. This study aims at understanding preference of ED providers and patients on this collection in the Emergency Department (ED). Purposive sampling was used to recruit patients and ED providers for in-depth interviews. A nationally representative online survey was also sent to patients and ED providers. Surveys were analyzed descriptively using sampling weights. Preferences for collection of SOGI during ED encounter were collected from 38 providers and 53 patients. The findings suggested that self-reporting SOGI on a form is more acceptable to patients than verbal collection. The national survey of 1,516 patients and 429 providers revealed that 80% of providers expressed concerns about offending patients when asking about SOGI while 11% of patients indicated that they would be offended. Only 0.7% of patients indicated they would refuse to disclose their SOGI and 8.9% of providers said they would refuse to ask patients about their SOGI. Future clinical trials are needed to compare the patient-preferred method for collection of SOGI in the ED.
