Accessibility Requirements
Laws and policies affecting the healthcare industry include:
- Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) - the equal access requirement of the ADA requires accessibility. Just as physical office locations must provide equal access for people with disabilities, similar accessibility enhancements are required for IT systems.
- Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act - Section 508 requires that all IT systems used, developed, procured, and maintained by the Federal government be accessible to people with disabilities. Section 508 compliance can be required for healthcare organizations receiving Federal funds.
- International - Healthcare organizations operating internationally must comply with accessibility requirements in countries including the United Kingdom, European Union, Canada, Japan, and Australia.
