Many people with disabilities continue to encounter barriers when seeking health care, including inaccessible clinics, communication challenges, and insurance rules that can disrupt coverage. A collection of recent studies from IHPI experts examines how these obstacles affect everyday care and identifies opportunities for improvement. The research shows that disability-related needs often go unrecognized, clinicians may lack inclusive training, and access to recommended preventive services can be limited. These studies also point to practical solutions, such as better tools to identify accommodation needs and improve communication access, that can support more inclusive, high-quality care for people with disabilities.
