Target Audience

Redesign Example #1

Patient Card

The idea of the Patient Card is some sort of “cheat sheet” for the nurse. The focus was create a key info and actionable items to do for the patient.

Working with an Subject Matter Expert

I met with a subject matter expert to help me understand how the user (nurse) would use the patient card. The SME helped me identify the priorities of this chart. As mentioned in the beginning of my process, the SME was able to answer all my initial questions.

Sketching out my ideas

Initially, when I sketched and created my prototype. I shared with my team a tab feature where the student could select which subject they wanted to see, but this feature had a few setbacks. I then searched for another way to redesign this screen with the support of the engineering team.

The solution was to create a list that the nursing student could check to view.

The idea of “General Information” was that items are informative but not a place where nurses would go to document. This image shows both “General Information” and “Action List” since both boxes have been selected.

Under “Action List” are clickable links that nurses can go and document when actions are taken.

This screen displays “Action List'“ since it was the only option selected.

Deliverable

After 3 rounds of critique and clean-up session, we came up with a solution for the Patient Card. This prototype was also tested with our Subject Matter Expert to validate the efficiency and functionality of the chart. This chart was completed after 2 rounds of sprints.

The Patient Summary

Working with SME’s

While brainstorming to create the Patient Summary, I took a look at classic and other Medical EHR Charts.

The Patient Summary Chart was one of those complex charts to view, so it was important for me to understand what elements were priority and important to view.

Deliverable

After 2 rounds of critique and clean-up session, we came up with a solution for the Patient Summary. The prototype was checked with our Subject Matter Expert to validate the efficiency and functionality of the chart. This chart was completed after 1 sprint and moved on to the development phase between week 3. I worked with one of the Lead Developers to conduct a UI Scrub. In this session, we try to match design with code and check the function of the chart.

 Redesign Example #3

Newborn + Ballard Maturational Assessment Chart

The Process

I was responsible for creating the Women's Health and Labor and Delivery Charts. I found that some charts worked parallel to one another. In this case, the Assessment for the newborn also carried the Ballard Maturational Chart within it. Apgar Score was also included in the original classic.

The idea of the redesign was to think about how to combine these charts.

Apgar score was originally set in the Ballard Maturational Assessment but was removed here due to the process of editing the outcome. The nurse would have to come back to this chart after the 5 and 7-minute mark to add in the score.

Anything that needed a score was placed in the side panel to come back to. Here you will find it in 01 and 04.

Working with SME, Content and Engineer Lead

I evaluated the previous charts in Classic and compiled my questions. I met with our Subject Matter Expert to gain a better understanding of the process and how each chart worked alongside the other. I met with Content to see the flexibility of the Ballard Maturational Assessment on how much could be altered or copied.

Deliverable

The design was completed in a sprint but took several clean-up and reiteration sessions afterward to refine the way the score functioned. I met with one of the engineerings leads to correct this area. We were able to refine the scoring situation and I was able to test the functionality of this chart.
