Miami Lakes OBGYNs : Wheelchair Patient Waited 3 Hours. Chart Never Sent.

#patientcare #waiting #chart

A wheelchair-using patient and her family arrived early for an OBGYN appointment. They checked in. They waited. Over three hours later, they asked the front desk why she hadn't been called. The front desk didn't know. The chart had been created. It had never reached the doctor.

The family is formally escalating.

ADA.gov is explicit: "Generally, a patient with a disability should not wait longer than other patients." Private medical practices are covered under Title III of the ADA as places of public accommodation. A wheelchair patient who waited outside for over three hours while her chart sat unrouted experienced a documented ADA accommodation failure and the family is now pursuing the enforcement pathway that the ADA provides.
According to a Health Affairs survey of 714 U.S. physicians, 35.8 percent know little or nothing about their ADA legal obligations. That gap has real consequences.
