Market Research
Healthcare delivery is striving to improve quality by better defining and measuring patient satisfaction. So managing the patient experience is becoming increasingly important for healthcare providers. However understanding patient experience requires looking at a range of data point and and getting an integrated view of all these sources.
myPatientPulse is focused on addressing this need and providing a tool that makes this process easy and inexpensive.
User Research
We conducted interviews with various healthcare providers to understand their patient satisfaction management process. We wanted to find out what providers were looking for when they wanted to know their patient experience and ways to optimize it.
Wireframing
The next step was some quick wire framing in balsamic to organize my thoughts. These wire frames were used to brainstorm ideas for features and content with my team.
The team comprised of 1 designer, 2 analysts and 3 engineers. I was involved in the designing and prototyping of the application.
After some brainstorming and usability testing sessions we had narrowed down the most useful features. This helped us organize the content and work on the drilldowns.
Font Sizes
The font sizes of the content in each "tile" of the application had to show the hierarchy and grouping of information. There were four types of size used in the entire application.
