Change the name to Clinical Test Sex Parameter for Clinical Use
After considerable discussion within the Gender Harmony Project, the SFCU element will be renamed to Sex Parameter for Clinical Use (SPCU) in the final HL7 standards to be published this year (V2.9.1, FHIR R5, CDA companion guide.) This means all the specific SPCU data elements should be renamed to align with this phrasing. In this case the name of this element should be Clinical Test Sex Parameter for Clinical Use.
