OH: Gender-Affirming Care for Gender-Diverse People Quality Standards

Ontario Health

This quality standard addresses care for gender-diverse adults aged 18 years and older. The quality standard focuses on gender-affirming care and the primary care needs of gender-diverse adults, including health assessment, screening, treatment, and follow-up. It addresses primary care referral for gender-affirming surgical assessment, based on clinical evidence, but not specific surgical procedures. Although many statements may apply to intersex people, this quality standard does not directly address the care of intersex people. A quality standard on gender-affirming care for adolescents is in development.
