[In-Person] Advancing Disability Accessibility, Inclusion, Care Quality

Advancing Disability Accessibility, Inclusion, and Care Quality: From Concepts to Strategic Actions brings together healthcare professionals, leaders, and advocates to explore how disability is understood, discussed, and addressed across healthcare settings. As health systems make meaningful progress in disability inclusion and equitable care, this session moves beyond theory to practical, actionable strategies that can be applied in everyday clinical, operational, and organizational contexts.

Participants will examine key models used to define disability and consider how these frameworks shape interactions with both patients and colleagues. Through guided discussion and real-world examples, the session will highlight how thoughtful application of these models can improve communication, reduce barriers, and strengthen care quality. Attendees will also be introduced to resources and tools to support continued learning and advancement of equitable, inclusive care for people with disabilities.
