Previously, the federation provided support to a blind hospital dispatcher who sued both Epic and his employer, Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, over the inability for the software to integrate with screen-reading technology. The parties in that case reached a settlement on undisclosed terms.

In the new lawsuit, the federation has requested for a judge to block Epic from selling or installing its software in the state, and to require the company to make its software more accessible.

When asked for comment, Epic Systems public affairs director Meghan Roh supplied a company statement saying that Epic values industry workers who use screen readers "and other assistive technologies" to do their job.

“We work closely with our customers to tailor specific workflows and integrate with existing and emerging assistive technologies that support their employees with disabilities," the statement said.

The company's statement also said that it strives to make its web-based content compliant with online accessibility standards.
