Final Designs - Resident Doctor
The resident doctor is responsible for conducting primary, secondary, and tertiary assessments of patients in the ER. This role is critical in deciding the patient's course of treatment — whether it involves lab tests, procedures, medication, or discharge. Their actions and decisions form the backbone of the ER flow, bridging diagnosis and resolution.
Information Architecture - Mind Map
Before moving into screen design, we mapped the key workflows and decisions the resident doctor needs to make. Since most of their actions take place via the mobile app, the user flow was designed to support multi-step assessments, easy access to vitals, and a clear path to ER Exit.
High-Fidelity
A clean and focused web interface was designed for resident doctors to streamline key tasks such as reviewing vitals, documenting assessments, and completing discharge summaries efficiently in a high-pressure ER environment.
ER Flow
The interface supports the complete ER flow, guiding resident doctors through each critical step — from initial assessment to patient discharge. The flow is designed to mirror real-world decision-making while ensuring medical data is captured consistently.
Patient 360
In critical care environments like the ER, fragmented information can lead to delays or miscommunication. To solve this, we introduced Patient 360—a centralized view that combines all relevant patient information in one place.
💡
Why is it needed?
- ER teams often struggle with jumping between different screens or systems to check vitals, past assessments, lab reports, and procedures.
- With increasing patient load, speed and clarity become essential.
- Doctors need context at a glance before making time-sensitive decisions.
Design is never perfect in the first pass. Through multiple rounds of feedback, stakeholder reviews, and usability validations, we arrived at a solution that balanced clarity, speed, and clinical relevance.
Overview
The Overview section gives a quick snapshot of the patient's current status, assigned medical staff, admission details, and activity timeline in one place.
💡 This helps doctors understand the patient journey and current progress at a glance.
Vital Signs
The Vital Signs section visualizes important health metrics such as heart rate, BP, temperature, and oxygen levels through structured data and graphs.
💡 Visualizing vitals over time makes it easier to identify abnormalities and monitor patient stability quickly.
Primary Survey
The Primary Survey captures the patient's immediate critical condition assessment, including airway, breathing, and circulation details.
💡 The layout was designed to keep emergency findings structured, scannable, and easy to review under pressure.
Secondary Survey
The Secondary Survey documents detailed clinical findings, symptoms, medical history, and physical examinations in a structured format.
💡 Organizing findings systematically helps doctors review patient conditions faster and reduce documentation friction.
Tertiary Survey
The Tertiary Survey consolidates prescriptions, procedures, and lab reports into a unified view for continued treatment and follow-up care.
💡 Bringing all treatment-related information together improves accessibility and reduces dependency on fragmented records.
ER Exit
The ER Exit flow was designed to streamline discharge-related decisions with clear confirmation steps and predefined exit outcomes.
💡 Adding structured validations and confirmation checkpoints helps reduce errors during patient discharge workflows.
