NATIONAL REHABILITATION INFORMATION CENTER: Well-Coordinated Electronic Health Records May Help Streamline Accommodations for Patients with Disabilities
People with disabilities often face multiple challenges when accessing healthcare services. Everything from inaccessible doctors offices, to needing a sign-language interpreter, to needing support transferring, the list is endless. People can request these accommodations, but they often get lost. The use of Electronic Health Records may help with this. People can put requests for accommodations in the system electronically. Researchers have done a study on this and it really seems to help.
