Disability-inclusive Preventive Screenings: Implementation Tools for Practitioners
CEUs
This webinar provides healthcare practitioners with evidence-based tools and a structured implementation approach to make preventive health screenings accessible for patients with disabilities. Participants learn to identify common accessibility barriers, implement specific accommodations for USPSTF A/B recommended screenings, and develop practical plans for improving screening accessibility. The session features a patient with disabilities as a co-presenter, sharing real experiences with breast, cervical, colorectal, and osteoporosis screenings, demonstrating the importance of collaborative planning and disability-inclusive care approaches.
Learning objectives: Identify at least three common barriers people with disabilities face during preventive screenings. List one or two accommodation strategies for at least one USPSTF A/B recommended screening. Identify at least two changes your organization could make to improve screening accessibility for patients with disabilities.
