Digital Accessibility in Healthcare
Healthcare is in the midst of a massive shift to digital
Healthcare, like many other verticals, is rapidly transforming as the COVID-19 pandemic and external factors like new technologies, system enhancements, and pressure from organization-wide goals to provide cost-effective and time-efficient services reshape the industry.

I just went through an intake process that was massively inaccessible. The basic form was a PDF that had been screenshotted for deployment on a "secure" platform called DocuSign. They could have sent me a passworded fill-in PDF, but no.
