1.1 Patient data accessible only by scrolling with a mouse (P)
FIGURE 1.1: Dashboard scroll highlighted on the Monitoring page
1.1.1 WCAG 2.1.1 (A), 2.4.3 (A) - Desktop
In order to access all the patient data in the dashboard, the user is required to scroll through the table using a mouse. Users using a keyboard to navigate are not provided any means to do the same. This makes the page inaccessible for keyboard users, since they are unable to view the content of the page.
This is related to issue Dashboard elements not keyboard accessible (H) : users cannot tab through the table either since they are not in the tab order of the page.
1.1.2 Recommendation
Ensure that the page is operable for all users, including keyboard users. The scrollable region can be made keyboard accessible by adding <tabindex="0">. Bringing the interactive elements of the table within the tab order would also make them keyboard accessible.

1.1.4 Spot check: December 2022
This issue has been resolved. The patient list now scrolls when keyboard users reach the bottom when using the tab key.
This issue has changed from a ‘High’ severity issue to a ‘Positive’ finding.
