CONNECTED ENTERPRISE

UX, Desktop

Summary

Connected Enterprise connects standalone products to help hospitals conduct investigations more efficiently. This project tackles the complex workflow of investigating medication error never events.

Discovery

Mapped the medication error never event investigation process to understand how each step interacts with our products.

Collaborated with Connected Enterprise stakeholders to create a foundational flow diagram for future development.

Challenges

  • Cross-product integration: Enable seamless data and feature flow between standalone products
  • Visual consistency: Create a unified interface experience across multiple products
  • Automated data aggregation: Pull relevant information from different sources directly into the investigation workflow
  • Contextual access: Provide drill-down capabilities for users who need deeper information on specific subjects
  • Cross-platform task assignment: Allow task delegation to individuals across different product environmentsRetry

Phase two incorporated existing interface screenshots to visualize how each product would integrate within the workflow.

Safety investigation basic information

Designed the investigation phase to auto-populate data from incident reports—reducing manual entry and preventing errors. A step-based navigation with progress indicators helps users track their location in the workflow.

Safety investigation provider affected

The provider affected section displays the provider's event history—showing, for example, whether they have a high rate of medication errors. A "view full history report" button links directly to their complete record in the Quality system.

Safety investigation medication analysis

The medication analysis section automatically pulls medication data from the EMR. Users can access the full EMR by clicking "view EMR" in the top right.

Safety investigation staffing information portal

Embedded Power BI analytics show when the medication error occurred, including staff breakdown and whether the patient received appropriate care—all within the investigation workflow.

Safety investigation assign peer review

Investigators can now assign cross-product tasks directly from Safety. In this example, a task is created for the Quality Director to conduct a Peer Review.

Safety investigation peer review cases

A case is automatically generated in Quality with the incident report already attached.

Safety investigation root cause analysis closed

Once the Peer Review is completed, the case is marked as "closed.

The Results

The interactive mockup received stakeholder approval and is positioned to secure funding. The project will focus on building product integrations that demonstrate the value of owning the complete ecosystem—positioning it as a key upsell opportunity.

Clipping Interface

This project was to revamp the clipping interface for the company's flagship product. By interviewing potential customers, we discovered that the original clipping interface was too complex to learn. After some competitor research and user testing, I designed a solution that met the users' needs. I added new panels at the bottom that visually showed the start and end clip points. Each panel allowed the user to easily move 1 second or 1 frame, forward or back, in the timeline. This allowed for frame accurate clip creation. I also added a play button to preview that portion of the clip. Feedback was very positive from customers and this new version of the clipping interface was implemented into the product.
