Taking Inventory of Your Sexual History Forms: Fewer Assumptions, Better Medicine

Ideal for clinic managers, electronic medical records (EMR) company representatives, and medical information technology specialists. This session can be done in lecture format or as a hands-on workshop to retool and refine medical forms and provider “scripts” for taking a patient’s sexual history. We will deconstruct the assumptions present in existing tools and paperwork, and provide a set of best practices for building rapport and eliciting complete and accurate information from clients about their sexual history. This session will also cover common paperwork pitfalls (and their surprisingly simple solutions) affecting LGBT, undocumented, non-monogamous, homeless, disabled, and fat patients.
