* I just came across an incomplete record (from S9 laptop) that has a sex entry "Undiff". Our dropdown doesn't contain this so this likely came from Cognos. If this is now being coded in EPR, and considering that this would affect the "biological sex" we use in defining this, should we introduce this as an option? If we do ''not'' want to introduce this as an option, do our cross checks catch this? They might not, since this could not have been entered manually.

EPR ~~uses~~ the currently used gender, as far as we could tell. We didn’t review what the policies are about this. '''Our records may therefore be inconsistent with EPR.'''

As discussed at [[Task Team Meeting - Rolling Agenda and Minutes 2019#ICU Database Task Group Meeting – June 26, 2019 |Task]], EPR used the currently used gender, as far as we could tell. We didn’t review what the policies are about this. '''Our records may therefore be inconsistent with EPR.'''
