Identify SOGI Fields as Protected Content

The fields on Protected Content tab identify a patient's sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI). If any of these fields are identified as protected content, then a user must have the appropriate security permissions in System Administrator to view the field data. For example, a patient identifies their current gender as Male and their preferred pronoun as She or They. When you select the Preferred Pronoun field, only then users with the appropriate security permissions can view the data in the Preferred Pronoun field.

To access this tab use one of the following paths:

  • In NextGen® Enterprise PM, select Preferences > Enterprise Preferences > Protected Content.
  1. In File Maintenance, select Master Files > System > Enterprises. Select the applicable Enterprise and then Preferences > Protected Content.
    The Enterprise Preferences > Protected Content tab opens.
  2. To identify field data as protected content, select one or more of the following fields:
    • Current Gender
    • Gender Identity
    • Preferred Pronoun
    • Sexual Orientation
  3. Select OK.
