<div dir="ltr">Hi Howard,<div><br></div><div>I did a bit of investigation around this topic about 18 months ago and the short version was that the applications that offered a student- and staff-facing web-based interface had numerous accessibility issues and could be very difficult to use. For institutions that provide health center services via web-based applications, (IMO) this is just a lawsuit waiting to happen.</div><div><br></div><div>That said, I do know that my old health provider did license part of the EPIC platform for the patient portal and there was decent documentation on how to support access to that UI via assistive technologies. JAWS and ZoomText were the two AT applications that seemed to get mentioned the most in the product documentation and instructions for use were also part of the UI.</div><div><br></div><div>Take care,</div><div>sean</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Aug 8, 2016 at 3:08 PM, Corey, Kirk <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kirk-corey@uiowa.edu" target="_blank">kirk-corey@uiowa.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

in the demo, and the individual showing the software indicated that he was pleased with the accessibility of the software.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">I also noticed that the NFB had issued a call for comments on accessibility of EHR software in 2014 (<a href="http://nfbnet.org/pipermail/humanser_nfbnet.org/2014-August/002988.html" target="_blank">http://nfbnet.org/pipermail/<wbr>humanser_nfbnet.org/2014-<wbr>August/002988.html</a>)
