[Blindtlk] Healthcare information survey

[Mike Freeman]

Why do the surveyors think that what is important to people with
disabilities is any different from what is important to the rest of society?

Frankly, I'm getting rather tired of people (even our own members) surveying
everything about the blind or otherwise disabled. Lord, if we filled all of
these surveys out, we wouldn't have time for anything else -- like going to
the doctor! <evil grin>

Subject: [Blindtlk] Healthcare information survey

You are invited to participate in a short survey asking what healthcare
tasks and information are most important to consumers.

Inglis, The Children¹s Hospital of Philadelphia, and WGBH¹s Carl and Ruth
Shapiro Family National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM) are collaborating
on a joint project to explore how people with disabilities can use
technology to manage their own healthcare. This project is funded by the
U.S. Department of Education, The National Institute on Disability and
Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR Award: H133G110095).

This survey will help us understand how people with disabilities can access
their medical information to manage their healthcare. It asks what
healthcare tasks and information are important to you. Later in the project
we will explore in detail how to make the technology that supports these
tasks accessible to everyone.

Please follow this link to the survey. We expect it will take about 10
minutes to complete.
