description: 'USCDI includes a data element for Sex, intended to support the exchange of a recorded sex value. This extension aligns with the USCDI definition of Sex: \"Documentation of a specific instance of sex.\" It enables systems to share the sex value as it was documented in a particular context.  Systems choosing to record sources of information should use the [Provenance resource](element-level-provenance.html).'
