Overview
This group is a collaborative forum focused on modernizing sex and gender information practices within Canada’s digital health ecosystem. It does this by enabling coordination and knowledge sharing on standards alignment, implementation considerations, and use of sex, gender, and related data elements in digital health systems. This matters because consistent, well‑defined information practices support interoperability, data quality, and appropriate use of clinical and administrative data across care settings.
Ultimately, this work helps participants align on practical, standards‑informed approaches for representing sex and gender information in interoperable digital health solutions.
Who it’s for
Intended for jurisdictions, clinicians, vendors, policymakers, researchers, and standards organizations involved in Canada’s digital health ecosystem who develop, implement, govern, or use sex and gender information in digital health systems.
