PDF accessibility for hospitals & clinics

Care should not stop at an unreadable document.

Before an appointment. After a difficult conversation. Back at home with questions. Patients and families turn to your documents when they need clarity most. Help them find the information they need, with the independence and dignity they deserve.

Start with the next patient interaction

Group public documents by the moment they support: preparing for a visit, completing a form, understanding a service, or reviewing general instructions afterward.

Before a visit

Appointment-preparation guides, visitor information, blank intake forms, and directions.

Access to care

Financial-assistance applications, patient-rights information, and public service descriptions.

Education and follow-up

Approved general patient-education materials and blank discharge-instruction templates. Keep a clinical owner attached to each set.

Keep clinical approval in the workflow

Example: crawl the hospital’s public patient-information pages, review the automatic audit categories, and select current preparation guides. Remediate the files, then have the clinical owner confirm that instructions retain their intended meaning before publication.

The completed PDF and its reports remain together in the VORA Dashboard. Coordinate replacement of the published file with the staff who manage the website.

Separate public resources from patient records

Use public information and blank templates to begin. Patient-specific documents require your organization’s approved privacy and security arrangements. Accessibility remediation does not replace clinical review.

Start with one file or a priority set

The VORA Dashboard is free forever for accounts created during launch. Manual remediation in its editor is free. Automated remediation costs $4 per credit: one per page, plus one per table. Review the estimate before starting.

Questions before you start

Will remediation rewrite clinical instructions?

The goal is to improve accessibility. The clinical owner should verify that the output preserves the intended wording and meaning before it is published.

Can we use patient-specific records?

Confirm the privacy, security, and contractual requirements with your organization and ADAComply before uploading sensitive documents. Start with public materials and blank templates.

What happens when a care guide is updated?

Bring the revised file through review, retain its report, and have the publishing team replace the correct version.
