2.44.1 Buttons not easily accessible for keyboard users

On the Drug Intolerances Patient Settings page, in order to add to delete a drug using the keyboard alone, the user needs to select the drug, tab up a long list of item, and finally interact with the button. They also would not know how long it would take them to get to interact with the add or delete button (see Number of sub-list options not announced by screen readers (L) ).

This is a frustrating and confusing experience for keyboard users and it would be a better experience if there are add or delete buttons next to each drug that the user can easily navigate to.

2.44.2 Recommendations

Provide an add and delete button next to each drug, programmatically associated with the name of the drug for enhanced accessibility.
