Zeta1961, as someone who has documented patient medical information for many years and for facilities all over the United States, I believe it was in the middle to late 1970s that medical facilities were strongly encouraged to reference patient ethnicity.

That said, it has been my experience that patients are rarely asked their ethnic background and that the person taking the medical history comes to a conclusion by merely eyeballing the patient, rather than asking the patient for specifics. - Holly
