Project description

Meridian Health operates 42 clinical centers. We designed a frictionless protocol management system that turned convoluted compliance guidelines into actionable clinical workflows.

Timeline

12 weeks from discovery, contextual inquiries, to final design system delivery.

Background

Shifting regulatory mandates caused accidental compliance oversights during busy shifts. The new mobile-first platform provides nurses and clinicians with real-time checklist verification and shift handoff protocols.

Problem statement

Conducted on-site ethnographic shadowing in hospital emergency and inpatient units to understand real-world cognitive load under pressure.

Clinical Shadowing

Identified high-stress friction points where protocol steps were historically missed or delayed.

Simplified Interaction Design

Designed high-contrast, one-tap validation UI usable while wearing medical gloves.

Shift Handoff Matrix

Engineered seamless peer-to-peer verification protocols that ensure continuity of care.

HIPAA & ADA Auditing

Ensured 100% compliance with strict accessibility and healthcare data security protocols.

Challenge

A human-centered clinical companion app that guides healthcare staff with smart contextual prompts and automated audit trails.

Smart Checklists

Dynamic shift checklists that automatically adjust based on patient acuity and procedure requirements.

Real-Time Alerts

Urgent protocol reminders delivered precisely when shift transitions occur.

Automated Audit Trail

Eliminated paper records with cryptographically signed, timestamped digital compliance logs.

CLINICAL PROTOCOLS

Zero-latency patient checklist verification designed specifically for fast-paced clinical workflows.
