UX Research
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
Verbal back and forth over the phone
Form to take home
Integration with Ocean
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
