About The REACH Project

The main goals of the current project are to:

    • 1) Share, disseminate, and get feedback the action plan and get feedback from community-based organizations, healthcare organizations, and professional associations on the action plan
      • The Action Plan to modernize gender, sex, and sexual orientation information in digital health systems was developed from a series of monthly consultation sessions that were held in 2020.
    • 2) Build tools needed for implementation of new health information practices.
