ABSTRACT
Transgender people have a right to be called by their chosen names. However, the current electronic health record (EHR)-even with dramatic changes in recent years-does not allow for proper documentation to accurately and sensitively capture the experiences of transgender patients. This article suggests that EHRs should be modified to allow for distinctions in legal and chosen name fields, recognize the wide-ranging experiences and needs of transgender patients, and promote inclusive, identity-sensitive health care. Healthcare professionals should insist that technology be used in service of the full humanity of their patients.
