[NFB-Science] Suggestions for Job Accommodations in Healthcare

[Jenn Han]

Hello everyone!

For those interested, I finally got the name of the EMR system I’ll be
using. It’s called CodoniXNotes.

Does anyone have experience with this? I would love to hear about it if you
do.

Also for those interested, I learned the EHR System, Epic, works with
ZoomText. I’m not too sure about JAWS though.

Best.
Jenn
