Transgender people experience their gender identity as different from the sex assigned to them at birth and/or those listed on their legal identification. A Master Patient Index (MPI) is a centralized index of all patients in a health care system. The objective of this work was to describe the designed strategies and adapting of a MPI that contemplates transgender patient registration needs as regards as health and legal context.
