The Opportunity Space

Physicians spend 35% of their total time (at the clinic) documenting patient data which is about 8 mins per patient

“If you’re only spending eight minutes  talking to and examining a patient, something is certainly going to be missing.”

~ Leonard S. Feldman

The Challenge

How can we improve the documentation workflow for physicians?

The 4 existing solutions

no efficient workflows ==> significant opportunity for improvement

  1. Verbal back and forth over the phone 
  2. Form to take home 
  3. Integration with Ocean 
  4. Google forms

The Goal:

To create an intuitive and well-integrated system for physicians to share and receive patient information through interactive questionnaires

Less Touchpoints

Having less steps to achieve the goal to make the process faster and smoother

Intuitiveness

Creating a system that requires little to no training for new personnel

Customisation

Designing an adaptable workflow for the information each physician needs

User Research

Chaotic, under confident and frustrated : Physicians crave a better workflow to get a bigger picture of patient information

Empathy mapping to understand important pain points
Interview with stakeholders to understand solution space and determine basic features
2 Pivotal Interviews

Dr. Wilson viewed questionnaires as a distraction while forms were a source of confidence for Dr. Chamberlain. The interview helped me realize that the proposed idea would not be used by all physicians as well as to develop a value proposition and building the persona
