This Implementation Guide is based on existing data and learnings from healthcare organizations across the country that are working to improve the quality of care provided to patients with disabilities. This information is intended to provide guidelines which are adaptable to your local context.

People with disabilities experience significant disparities in health and healthcare outcomes. Healthcare organizations, even the most well-intentioned, remain largely inaccessible and inequitable for people with disabilities. We have found few comprehensive, evidence-based resources available to support healthcare organizations, clinicians, and staff in delivering high-quality care for patients with disabilities. This Implementation Guide seeks to fill this gap.
