| Abstrakt: | Competing Interests: Contributor disclosed no conflicts of interest relevant to the content. Electronic health records (EHRs) enable patients to access their health records anytime, from anywhere with internet connectivity. Yet not all Americans benefit from these innovations. EHRs can be hard to access for people with a range of disabilities. This lack of access perpetuates inequity and, thus, demands ethical and legal attention. Some federal laws and regulations require accessible EHRs, but even these protections can fall short. This article argues that more clearly defined obligations for EHR developers and clinicians are necessary. (Copyright 2025 American Medical Association. All Rights Reserved.) |
