Abstract:
Improving care for gender-diverse (GD) patients necessitates developing informatics tools and approaches to support optimal laboratory testing. This requires increased functionality and standardization of laboratory information system/electronic health record and data collection processes. Data tailored to accommodate immediate clinical care and clinical decision support (CDS) also have an impact on interoperability and downstream data needs for patients. Informatics tools can shape the clinical care experience for GD patients by careful design of laboratory-patient interactions.
