The Sex Extension is used to reflect the documentation of a person’s sex. Systems choosing to record sources of information should use the Provenance resource.

USCDI v3 includes a data element for sex, intended to support the exchange of a sex value that is not characterized as sex assigned at birth or birth sex. This Sex extension supports USCDI v3. Sex assigned at birth or birth sex can be recorded using the more specific US Core Birth Sex Extension.
