[Nfbnet-members-list] Seeking Electronic Heath Record (EHR) Accessibility Information

[Yingling, Valerie]

Dear Federationists,

The NFB is seeking your feedback regarding accessibility features 
available within Electronic Health Record (EHR) software, in light of 
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' public comment 
period for revised EHR certification criteria.

If you are blind and work in the healthcare industry or are a student 
preparing for a career in the healthcare industry and encounter EHRs 
regularly at your job or as a part of your studies, NFB needs to hear 
from you.  In an effort to understand how blind individuals are 
affected by the influx of EHRs, NFB is gathering data from members 
whose job duties or coursework involve entering, reviewing, and / or 
retrieving data within EHRs.  EHRs in question may include Epic, 
Allscripts, Cerner, eClinicalWorks, NextGen and other software 
companies' products.

Please call Valerie Yingling, paralegal, at 410-659-9314 x 2440 to 
share your EHR experiences, both positive and negative.
