Patient needs more work to use Core's Gender Identity extension #599
Comments
On balance given the likely extent of work required, particularly on the options for terminology, it was decided with @oridashi (Brett) to remove this extension for now. This has been done in PR #611 (see commit 2ba705c) and includes the added informative text:

Related ballot feedback is below. https://jira.hl7australia.com/browse/FHIRIG-186 Gender identity should be added to StructureDefinition-au-patient A data element to capture the patient's gender identity should be added. It is suggested that this be addressed through addition of an CodeableConcept extension and extensibly binding it to a new (HL7 AU maintained) value set. This value set should select codes from an HL7 AU maintained code system (also to be added) which includes codes aligned with the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Standard for Sex, Gender, Variations of Sex Characteristics and Sexual Orientation Variables (https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/standards/standard-sex-gender-variations-sex-characteristics-and-sexual-orientation-variables/latest-release) values for gender identity i.e. Male, Female, Non-binary, Different Term, Prefer Not To Answer, Not stated or inadequately described. If appropriate the HL7 International gender-identity extension (https://www.hl7.org/fhir/extension-patient-genderidentity.html) could be considered for adoption. https://jira.hl7australia.com/browse/FHIRIG-187 Gender should be added to StructureDefinition-au-relatedperson Similar comment as for FHIRIG-186. The same suggested extension, value set and code system proposed may be reused. |

This is a core extension with it's own definition so implementing behaviour supporting extensible binding will need to be done with this in mind. Options include in AU Base Patient add the core genderIdentity extension and:
Invariant on Patient
Decompose the extension:genderIdentity slice to value[x] / valueCodableConcept
Noting that with any of the approached the example binding gets rendered in views (Diff, Snapshot etc.) and there doesn't appear to be a way to turn that off . |
The binding option is preferred, the extension:genderIdentity slice has been decomposed to value[x] / valueCodableConcept to add a binding. |
PR forthcoming - content reviewed and okayed by @oridashi and @davidmckillop. |
AU Base Patient uses the FHIR Core Gender Identity extension.
As AU Base Patient uses this, Patient needs to provide usage notes to clarify Gender Identity's usage in an Australian context and a preferred binding, rather than the example binding.
