Public Facing REALD & SOGI Survey Tool

About the Survey Tool

decorative image of a check mark
The Public Facing Survey Tool (PFST) is a secure, web-based form that allows people to enter their REALD and SOGI data for automatic reporting to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA). The PFST facilitates REALD and SOGI data collection in clinical settings where an organization cannot modify their Electronic Health Record (EHR) to include REALD & SOGI fields.


How it works

Image describes the process for self reporting data to OHA using the PFST.
Image caption: Participating providers have a customized survey link and QR code specific to their facility. People self-report using the link or QR code on a smart device connected to the internet. The data is directly and securely reported to OHA.

Provider Eligibility Criteria

  • Providers with EHR systems that cannot be modified at the organization level to include REALD & SOGI questions.
  • Providers who, for security reasons, are not comfortable storing or sending data.
  • Providers serving minors who may not want to store data for confidentiality or security reasons.
Getting started is easy; email the REALD & SOGI Team to receive a short readiness assessment. Once you have your personalized bit.ly link and QR code, you're ready to go.
