On July 26, 1992, federal legislation known as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) will take effect, opening an era of potentially dramatic changes for American businesses, including hospitals and other health care providers. The ADA will forbid discrimination against disabled persons in four broad areas: employment, public services (especially public transportation), public accommodations, and access to telecommunications. The following information, focusing on employment practices under the ADA, is the second of Michigan Hospitals' three-part series on the effects this new law will have on health care providers. The last installment will deal with public accommodation practices under the ADA.
