Legal vs True/Preferred Name and Prounouns
I would like a way to have a person’s true name (if different than their legal name) to show up prominently on reports, in the client module etc so as to respect those in the trans community who have a dead name that is harmful for them to see/hear. First, re-titleing ‘Preferred Name’ to ‘Preferred/True name’ and having that name show up along with the legal name in all instances. Also, a way in the Payer tab to enter the name that is on the person’s insurance policy. Finally, a selection to choose someones preferred pronouns and to have that appear along with someone’s name.

I would also like a place to indicate previous name or maiden name.

Please allow clients to have their preferred name appear during their telehealth sessions as opposed to their dead/legal name.
Thank you,

This is very much needed and behind in terms of other EHR's.

100% agree.
I have to brief clients and say, "When you log into the portal, it will display your name and sex as it appears on your ID/insurance information. Is this something that is ok?"
We have had to completely bypass the portal and send PDFs to complete and send back because I don't want a client to need to see their legal name which can be very distressing.Also, preferred names should show up in search results. It will still show the client as a result, but maybe add a column for "Preferred Name".
