What is the Tool?

The Clinical Trail Tool streamlines facility monitoring, allowing Quality Data Managers to focus on maintaining quality and efficiency across all Client facilities, saving time and resources.

This transformation Tool consolidates data entry, clinical action plans, and reporting, reducing staff stress and burnout while ensuring a quality patient experience.

My responsibilities have been

Interviewing users and creating personas to ensure our design met real-world needs.

Conducting surveys to understand user insights and guide our design decisions.

Collaborating with stakeholders to create wireframes following agile practices.

Validating wireframes using design thinking principles, think-aloud, and A/B testing.

Challenges

The new roles required extensive manual work with numerous Excel files.

Digital intervention was necessary to streamline the process.

This trail tool was at an infant stage and didn't provide much value

Interface needed to be scalable for the growing virtual care demand

v1.0 had basic data entry and parameter assessment but fell short due to limited functionality and technical glitches.

kicked off with a UX audit: of v1.0

v1.0 AUDIT INSIGHTS

The UI was took up a lot of scroll space, leading to navigation issues.

The functionality was too limited, with not much to do besides data entry.

The pillbox-shaped tabs occupied excessive screen space, especially considering the need to add more tab rows later.

The design required greater compactness and streamlining for user-friendliness and scalability.

Survey

Clinicians work, their tool habits and challenges to get insights on user needs and what pitfalls to avoid, which guides future design decisions...

Users' open-ended feedback provided deeper insights into their thoughts, concerns, and suggestions.

Evaluated response rates, demographics, NPS, and satisfaction to understand user experiences systematically.

Mapped Persona

Audit Responsibilities: Oversee audits for the demanding SDMAS team.

Strategic Implementations: Prioritizing for maximum value and financial gain.

Used FigJam as a common ground to discuss and test prototypes, guiding the best approach forward.

for stakeholders, developers, and users to shape the tool.

This facilitated instant feedback, crucial for iterative improvements in Wireframe Design.

I have reviewed user flow sketches in Design meetings, collaborating with stakeholders.

The Design Wall empowered users with post-it voting for a democratic design process.

Instant Feedbacks

Gathering instant feedback from stakeholders and users for iterative improvements.

Validating User Fllows

Reviewed user flows in our weekly Design meetings, collaborating with stakeholders.

I tested multiple layouts for the reporting screen. The list-style layout (2) was finalized for its simplicity and resemblance to how QDAs manage data in Excel files.

Here are some design approaches that served as the foundation for the whole system redesign.

1. Removing excessive graphics

Clinical Trail Tool consolidates complex functionalities under one system, requiring a ground-up UX/UI redesign for scalability and future feature integration.

Before

Graphic elements, like the pillbox tab menu, and space-occupying elements caused clutter, hindering comprehension.

After

The new design introduces a cleaner look, improving compactness and enhancing readability with a color-coded tab system.

2. Designing a space to monitor and track

I crafted the whole system from scratch, with the Clinical Action Plans Page being a standout. We listened to users, giving them a hassle-free space to manage action plans all in one spot.

The page lets users create or choose action plans, easily tracking changes, adding notes, attaching docs, and more.

Before

The old workflows were a pain. Dealing with multiple Excel files for data was a stress-fest, making it tough to stay focused.

After

I checked out how QDAs handle data and pitched a fresh dashboard for report monitoring.

Using visual data makes it easier on the brain, processing images faster than text.

This change was driven by our pursuit to achieve two business objectives

- For experienced users: quick access to their most-used features.

- Beginners: simplifying and speeding up the learning process.

We dug into the Design Wall's insights, figuring out what users love most. Shortcuts for quick access to favorite features? Done. Plus, they can create their own shortcuts – easy peasy.

The home page sets users up with quick alerts and lets you create your own bookmarks for easy access to their favorite sections.

Clicking on the facility brings up a detailed summary section with interactive widgets, allowing users to perform functions instantly.
