Electronic Health Records (EHR) face the challenge of collecting data about patient's gender identity in order to provide standardized and quality data to manage public policies in order to improve health disparities of the Trans population. Innovation in Health Information Technologies (HIT) develops in the midst of a cultural change process related to social representations of gender in favor of a diversity perspective. Understanding the health field as a complex adaptive system, the changes in the systems must consider multiple factors in every stage of the process. It is relevant to consider the people involved in it and the culture in which they are embedded. This article describes the implementation strategies of functionality that represents the transgender population in the EHR of the Public Health Care System of the Buenos Aires City.
