Hi all,

 

Anyone out there using an EHR with JAWS without the need for regular sighted
assistance? I know folks have been putting out this question to the list for
perhaps the last 20 years. Anyway, I'd like to supervise interns as part of
my therapy practice, and finding/using an EHR seems important to doing any
kind of business expansion. I haven't had any luck when reaching out to
specific companies-seems like there is very little interest in accessibility
out there. I thought I'd write to this list, just in case someone is having
a different experience. Please let me know if you have any
leads/suggestions. 

 

Thanks very much,

 

Audrey

Hi Audrey,

Surprisingly, I have found simple practice to be very accessible. Using Windows with jaws and the chrome browser, it is very accessible and I am able to access everything. Simple practice also does have an iOS app which for the most part is accessible but does present some accessibility challenges with voiceover when starting and stopping virtual video sessions. But, on the windows platform with the chrome browser, I have not run into any accessibility issues. However, when I first tried using simple practice, I did try it with Firefox as my browser and ran into several accessibility issues. I have also been told by other blind folks that simple practice is also accessible on the Mac with voiceover also using the chrome browser. But, I don’t have any personal experience with this.

Hope this helps.
Melissa
