Transgender Alert

,

What is the purpose of this alert?

“Transgender people may avoid seeking care due to prior discrimination or disrespect in a clinic setting. Providing a safe, welcoming and culturally appropriate clinic environment is essential to insure that transgender people not only seek care, but return for follow-up” (Deutsch, 2016, p. 17).

This form will be available for AD HOC documentation convenience. It will also be embedded within nursing intake PowerForms of locations (primarily ambulatory) that would document this data on a consistent basis.

The process is as follows:

1. Answers the gender ID as either Male to Female OR Female to Male OR Genderqueer

2. Answers "Yes" to verbal consent

3. Pronoun and name fields will then become required

4. Process finishes with the alert pulling those two fields in to alert the end-users (see alert screenshot)

Sexuality History PowerForm

Transgender Alert

This alert will fire when you first open a patient’s chart, one time only for that encounter. It will be in place for all users/positions in PowerChart.

The content of the PowerForm will carry forward and will need to be re-completed if the patient changes their mind regarding name or transition status.

GI Prophylaxis in Pediatric Patients on Ketorolac (Toradol).

This alert will fire to anyone who places an order for ketorolac on inpatient patients under the age of 18 who do not have an active order for an H2 blocker or proton pump inhibitor on their order profile.  The ordering provider can choose to place an additional order for famotidine from the alert or just click OK without making a selection to bypass the alert.
