At Overlake Medical Center & Clinics, we are committed to accessibility, diversity and inclusion. As part of that commitment, we are making efforts to ensure that Overlake Medical Center & Clinics’ information technology, including websites, web-based applications, software systems, and electronically published documents, should provide substantially similar functionality to individuals with disabilities as it provides to others, regardless of ability. Under Section 1557 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, healthcare organizations are required to make their information and communications technology (ICT) accessible to people with disabilities.
Digital Accessibility Statement
We are working to ensure our websites and online services are accessible for all and are committed to following the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines; including provisions requiring Overlake Medical Center & Clinics to remove access barriers, so that users with disabilities and impairments have equal access to goods and services, and other applicable web accessibility laws.
To accomplish this, we have partnered with Level Access to leverage its digital accessibility platform to achieve and sustain conformance to accessibility standards. This platform is used to evaluate our digital properties in accordance with best practices and is supported by a diverse team of accessibility professionals, including users with disabilities.
Through this partnership, Overlake Medical Center & Clinics continues to develop our digital accessibility program and capabilities so that we are designing, developing, and testing our websites and online services for conformance to accessibility standards.
