It shouldn’t come as a surprise that web accessibility is a standard for business owners, considering the large consumer market that it allows you to tap into.

Currently, 1 out of every 4 people in the U.S. lives with a disability, contributing to this significant market size and a buying power that adds to your company growth and website’s value.

With a moral and legal responsibility to be inclusive to all, hospitals are adopting web accessibility as the advanced, efficient, and affordable technology it has become today while maintaining compliance and experiencing the tremendous impact it has all-around:

It’s Good (No, Great!) Business

By opening up your website’s doors to 25% of the population that lives with a disability, you’re likely to generate more revenue while doing good.

The community has a vast buying power of $1.2 trillion and by creating spending opportunities for a community that wishes to learn more about your hospital and the services it offers, you form long-term relationships that contribute to your financial goals.

It Improves Your Hospital Website Performance

Are you interested in raising your SEO ranking? How about increasing your website’s traffic, dwell time, and CTR? We know that 82% of users would spend more time on websites if they were more accessible. Therefore, if your website is accessible, you can expect a dramatically improved user experience, leading you to likely see lifts in traffic rates.

It Mitigates Legal Risk

It’s the right thing to do and a moral imperative to make your website open and available to everyone. However, it’s also a matter of legal requirement and compliance considering the lift in accessibility lawsuits that you want to mitigate the risk of encountering. Advanced, modern web accessibility solutions allow business owners to maintain ADA compliance and WCAG 2.1AA level requirements.

Hospitals of all sizes can now take advantage of the benefits web accessibility has to offer without allocating extra resources towards the implementation and practice.

It Helps You Build a Positive Online Reputation

Consumers are loyal to inclusive brands. It’s that simple! Brands that produce websites and products or services in an inclusive, accessible fashion boost their positive, online reputation with consumers – and this goes for people with disabilities and without.

Those living with a disability will maintain warm perceptions towards your hospital if you have an efficient user experience that can be navigated by all, and they will spread the word to friends and family, thus furthering your audience reach. Make a big impact by leading the charge of change.

Integrating a web accessibility solution into your hospital website is a win-win solution for your hospital and for people with disabilities who wish to navigate and make appointments for services.

New, advanced technology makes it possible for business owners to adopt a solution at low cost and quickly, all while maintaining compliance with web accessibility legislation. Contact BCI for more information.
