Accessible Healthcare for People with Disabilities: An Implementation Guide for Healthcare Organizations

https://www.disabilityequitycollaborative.org/implementation-guide/

People with disabilities continue to face significant barriers to high-quality healthcare. DEC's new Implementation Guide is a comprehensive resource to help healthcare organizations close those gaps.

Designed for organizations of all sizes — from small rural clinics to large health systems — the Guide supports any role, from frontline staff to executive leadership. It includes four chapters:
1) Building a Disability Accessibility Program
2) Documenting Disability Status and Accommodation Needs
3) Providing Accommodations
4) Effective Communication

An implementation guide to support healthcare organizations in providing high-quality care to patients with disabilities.
