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.

Viewing Patient's General Information

The patient's general information includes the patient's photo, name and preferred name; these elements are non-configurable. You can configure other demographic and non-demographic information to display on the Patient Information Card (PIC). You can configure the locations where various types of data points are displayed, including: date of birth, age, gender, preferred pronouns, address, contact information, marital status, spouse name, number of children, and smoking history, to name a few. Important: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) information is unprotected and visible to any user by default. The system administrator can configure the protected content settings in the Enterprise Preferences window in File Maintenance, which makes the patient's SOGI information appear as Protected Content in NextGen® Enterprise EHR. To view such protected content as a user, you require adequate security permissions. For more information on protected content, go to NextGen Healthcare
