Add and Identify Patients’ Personal Pronouns

You’ll be able to view and add a patient’s preferred pronouns through Storyboard. While it may seem easier to refer to patients by their appearance, we need to recognize that gender is a spectrum, and we should not assume that someone’s personal pronouns are based on appearance.

For role-based instructions on adding pronouns in Epic, review the Capture a Patient’s Preferred Pronouns Using Storyboard tip sheet.

For information on talking to patients about their preferred pronouns, review the Showing Respect by Using Personal Pronouns document.
