One of Minnesota's largest health systems: 100+ hospitals and 60 clinics, one promise to patients.

M Health Fairview: care you can trust, on your terms

Four problems for patients, five needs for the business. The brief was to solve both on one page.

Problems to solve and business needs

The audit: a booking flow that broke, an Emergency Care button that misled, and no patient access to test against.

Annotated heuristic audit of the existing site
Project constraints: third party API, two sprints, no patient access

Six stages, two sprints. Discover and define with the functional team, design against a feasibility check, deliver hi-fi with dev notes, then QA every build.

Stage 1, Discover: sprint planning, PRD documents, research, design board planner
Stage 2, Define: connect with the functional team, existing user flow, workshop
Secondary research, ideation and initial concepts

The information architecture: the full sitemap, and how each flow branches from it.

Wireframing, before any of the visual system landed.

Wireframe: Urgent Care and Emergency Care, with online and in-person options Wireframe: How would you like to get care, online or in person Wireframe: what would you like to do today, get care urgently, find the right care, book other services
Get Care Flow 1: care type's medium, online or in-person, up front Get Care Flow 2: sort care through symptoms, conditions and speciality

Reflection

The hardest part of this project was not visual, it was deciding what a patient should see first. A person looking for care is often anxious and short on time, so every extra option is a small tax on someone who is already stressed. We kept returning to one test, does this help someone in the first ten seconds know where to go. Sorting the whole experience by urgency, rather than by how the health system is organised internally, was the decision that made everything else fall into place.

I also learned how much a single clear entry point can do for a business. By centralising every care option in one place and pushing the right patients toward virtual and preventive care, the same demand produced far better outcomes for both patients and the system.
