      Current guidance from ONC requires Birth Sex, which is a separate item from Administraive Gender and Clinical labeling.

      Standard currently supports requirement of regulation. We encourage harmonization and agreement at policy level for standard to follow. Note that the footnote referencing the FHIR spec re gender is not rendering correctly.
