[humanser] Excess ability question regarding JavaScript andelectronic medical record

[Beth Lpc]

Thank you all for your support.

As many of you may be familiar with, I will ve the first  totally blind person they have had on staff.
I do plan to ask for a reasonable accommodation of a reader scribe if need be.  I like the suggestion of using Word documents and having support staff assist by scanning them in.I will definitely keep you all informed. I also know of a scriptor for Jaws that I can call if I need to.
 I am also prepared to more fully learn other screen reading software such as window-eyes if need be.


I am hoping that by enabling java axis bridge on my computer that will solve my problems. And, I have learned that it is Netsmart that actually makes CMHC. I believe my company modified CMHC to make Freud. If that makes sense to anyone.Again, thank you!

The local blind services office has engaged a JAWS scripter to help, but JAWS doesn't work very well with the screens offered, so, now we are working with Window-Eyes and the verdict is still out.  My facility, being a large hospital, is at long last aware of my issue as a hospital problem, not soley as my problem, but a real solution is not yet clear.

It turns out that their system is written in Java script. I believe cobalt and Java were also used. The problem is the jaws will read none of the screens on their electronic medical record system. My question: is there any screen reading software out there that will work with JavaScript? My other option is a reasonable accommodation is to ask for a reader scribe to help with reading electronic charts and documentation. Along the same lines, I know that sharp desk will extract text from images. Is there any kind of software that might be able to extract the text from the JavaScript screen or any kind of iPhone app I can read the screen with. I know I'll still need help documenting the least I could try to read the charts  that way.
