ABSTRACT
People with disabilities (PWDs) represent the largest minority group in the United States and a priority population for health services research. Despite federal civil rights law, PWDs face inaccessible healthcare environments that fail to accommodate their disability. We present Michigan Medicine’s Disability and Accommodations Tab. This patient-facing questionnaire and shared data field in the electronic health record enables the collection and reporting of patient disability-related accommodations. The Disability Tab addresses provider- and clinic staff-reported barriers to providing accommodations and fosters an opportunity to redesign healthcare to meet the needs of PWDs.
