In this episode of Informatics in the Round we have a small but MIGHTY team.
Sarah Bland, a leader in Vanderbilt’s Center for Precision Medicine is here, and offers her usual insight coupled with wit!
We’re happy to introduce you all to Dr. Jesse Ehrenfeld, who is the Senior Associate Dean and Director of the Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin Endowment, and Professor of Anesthesiology Medical College of Wisconsin. But wait, there’s more. Jesse is chair of the American Medical Association Board of Trustees, a commander in the U.S. Navy and combat veteran, the head of perioperative informatics at Vanderbilt before leaving for Wisconsin, and so much more.
All the guests today have one or more non-heteronormative characteristics on our “problem list.” We’re all in the SOGI remarkable group. We are all in the LGBTQ+ tribe. We’re all gay!
Our topic for this conversation focuses on the inclusion of LBGTQ+ data in the EHR. In case you’re wondering how we can fill 50 minutes on that topic, suffice it to say that we had more than enough material. By the way, did I mention that Jesse was the former director of the Vanderbilt Program for LGBTQ Health, that he’s been a staunch supporter of LGBTQ+ rights, and has been at the center of much of the knowledge now published about the unique health requirements of patients who identify as LGBTQ+. Oh, and then there’s his book, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Healthcare: A Clinical Guide to Preventive, Primary, and Specialist Care.
