The New Frontier of Healthcare Civil Rights Compliance
The enforcement window is already open.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has elevated digital equity to a top enforcement priority. Under Section 1557 and Section 504, healthcare entities receiving federal funding must ensure equal digital access for patients with disabilities. With the Office for Civil Rights actively monitoring patient-facing digital assets, organizations that do not meet required standards face increasing regulatory scrutiny, complaints, and potential consequences for federal funding.

Sections 1557 and 504 require equal digital access for patients with disabilities.
The Enforcer
