Regulatory Advisory
& Strategy
Build a defensible, board-ready compliance posture that protects federal funding, reduces OCR exposure, and demonstrates meaningful commitment to digital equity across your entire organization.
Why Regulatory Advisory Matters
Non-compliance with Section 1557, Section 504, and related digital accessibility requirements invites increased OCR scrutiny across your entire digital environment and puts federal funding at risk. Beyond enforcement, healthcare organizations face growing expectations from patients, advocacy groups, and payers to demonstrate meaningful commitment to digital equity.
Many organizations have technical audits and remediation work underway but lack the underlying policies, procedures, training, and governance structures needed to sustain compliance and prove defensibility to regulators, boards, and legal stakeholders.
KEY RISKS
- warning Incomplete or outdated policies that fail to meet OCR expectations during an investigation
- warning Lack of required notices, grievance procedures, and Section 1557 Coordinator documentation
- warning Insufficient training and governance, leaving the organization exposed when staff make decisions that affect accessibility
- warning Inability to demonstrate a proactive, organization-wide approach to digital equity when facing complaints or audits
With the 2026–2027 WCAG 2.1 AA deadlines approaching, organizations that combine strong technical remediation with clear policies, training, and governance will be far better positioned to protect funding and reputation.
