2024 Session #2: Patient Success: Accommodating Patients with Disabilities in Healthcare Settings and Beyond:
February 14, 2024
Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) impose effective communication requirements on healthcare providers. Individuals with disabilities often face communication barriers when seeking treatment because they are not able to effectively communicate their healthcare concerns with their providers. In this presentation, we will be reviewing the legal requirements under the ADA and ACA and provide best practices. This presentation will also touch on how healthcare providers can help patients with disabilities obtain accommodations outside of the healthcare setting, ensuring them greater opportunities for success!
