      This has been addressed and discussed extensively in the past, and relaxing the binding will not assist in improving interoperability.

      11930, 3070, 11037

      If jurisdictions decide that they would like to provide alternative concepts for gender, they can add an extension onto the existing values.

      ConceptMaps have already been provided to v2 and v3.

      Other jurisdications (and vendors) may create ConceptMaps to their own internal/proprietary/local ValueSets as required.

      Existing Wording: Tracking a patient's gender presents a number of challenges due to biological variations, differing cultural expectations and legal restrictions

      Proposed Wording: Tracking a patient's gender presents a number of challenges due to biological variations, differing cultural expectations and legal restrictions therefore the Patient.gender may be localized and harmonized by individual jurisdictions.

      Comment:

      In the US, this value set needs to be harmonized with X12, NCPDP SCRIPT, HL7 V2, and HL7 V3. This issue was discussed by the VA/DoD IPT.
