The Challenge
The Challenge
Identified gaps. Healthcare workers often collected incomplete or inaccurate histories, which led to missed information, longer interviews, and weaker quality of care.
Completed a needs analysis. Reviewed training materials and practice notes to find common breakdowns in patient interviews.
Planned content. Chose the most important stages of the assessment and structured them into a simple, step-by-step guide for real-world use.
The Solution
The Solution

Intended Outcomes
Intended Outcomes
More complete and accurate patient histories during training and on the job.
Shorter, more focused interviews while maintaining quality of care.
A reusable reference that helps staff refresh skills without re-taking a full course.
Stronger reflection, supported by prompts such as “What information might you miss if you skip this step”.
Lessons Learned
Lessons Learned
Design for dual use. Resources that serve as both study material and job aid give more value to busy healthcare staff.
Visual clarity matters. Clean layouts and icons supported recall better than dense blocks of text.
Usability first. Learners preferred short checklists and prompts over long explanations, which reinforced the need to keep tools practical.
