    REALD SOGI compliance is the Oregon Health Authority's standard for capturing Race, Ethnicity, Language, Disability (REALD) and Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) data. Per OAR 943-070-0030, every CCO-contracted CBO must collect this data with precise terminology — and CCOs increasingly tie funding to REALD/SOGI completeness.

    This guide explains REALD SOGI compliance in plain English and shows how CH360 turns it from a documentation burden into a one-screen workflow.

    What REALD SOGI Compliance Actually Requires

    • Detailed race and ethnicity using OHA's expanded taxonomy (not just federal OMB categories)
    • Primary, secondary, and written language
    • Six disability dimensions: cognition, hearing, vision, mobility, self-care, independent living
    • Sexual orientation with culturally responsive options
    • Gender identity distinct from sex assigned at birth
    • Self-report by the member (not staff observation)
    • "Don't know" / "Decline to answer" options for every field

    3. Six-Dimensional Disability Capture

    Benefit: Each disability dimension is its own boolean field, satisfying both OHA and federal ADA reporting needs.

    4. Multi-State Demographic Adapter

    Benefit: Operating in California or Washington? CH360 auto-swaps to CHIA (AB 1726) or WAC 246-455-025 standards.

    5. Equity Stratification in Every Report

    Benefit: Reports automatically stratify outcomes by REALD categories, satisfying CCO 2.0 health-equity incentive measures.

    6. Self-Report Workflow

    Benefit: A guided, member-facing form ensures data is self-reported (the OHA standard) — not staff-inferred.

    7. Audit-Ready Demographic Logs

    Benefit: Every demographic field captures collection date, method, and staff member — proof at audit.
