Accessibility in ambulatory care environments is crucial for ensuring all patients, regardless of their physical, cognitive or sensory abilities, can access and receive appropriate care. It helps break down barriers and fosters an inclusive environment where every individual, including patients and care teams, can engage in enhancing health and well-being.

This white paper is designed to help create ambulatory spaces where patients want to visit and caregivers want to work. It looks at the importance of accessibility when it specifically comes to exam and procedure rooms where most of the patient/caregiver interaction occurs. The white paper also takes a closer look at the components of exam and procedure rooms that can help increase accessibility at the point of care.
