Digital Accessibility and Disability Inclusion


At Kaiser Permanente we're dedicated to making our digital experience accessible to everyone. We continually review and modify our website and mobile applications to improve their accessibility for people with disabilities. We strive to provide equivalent and positive digital experiences to people who use assistive technologies or adaptive methods.

Digital Accessibility Program and Compliance Process

Kaiser Permanente has a core group of accessibility subject-matter experts that form the Kaiser Permanente Digital Accessibility Program. These specialists engage with the digital information teams throughout the product life cycle – from design toward testing.

Our digital properties – including our website, our Kaiser Permanente mobile applications, and our electronic documents – support the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.2, levels A and AA (referred to as WCAG 2.2 AA).

We determine compliance through accessibility reviews and testing during design and development, assessing accessibility using a combination of automated and manual testing. Our tools and methods include keyboard, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack, zooming to 400%, text spacing, and Color Contrast Analyzer. PDFs are tested with a variety of tools including Adobe Acrobat Pro Accessibility Checker, CommonLook PDF Validator, Color Contrast Analyzer, and JAWS.
