The Design Process

• 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”. 

• 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.
