FIGURE 2.74: ARB list highlighted on the Drug Intolerances Patient Settings page

2.39.1 WCAG 3.3.2 (A) - Desktop

In the ‘All Drugs’ container on the Drug Intolerances Patient Settings page, there are main list headings (ARB, ACE Inhibitors etc.) and there are a number of items forming a sub-list under these headings.

The number of main list headings are announced to screen readers, but the sub-items within this list are not. It would be beneficial for screen readers to announce the number of sub-list items within the main list as well.

2.39.2 Recommendation

Announce sub-list item numbers to screen reader users. For example, within ARB, announce “Azilsartan medoxomil 1 of 6”
