Work Flow Audit #5
Description
The goal of this audit is to help design the user interface of the HospitalRun in order to optimize the work flow. To be effective, the app must minimize the number of time a user must click before the information appears. For example there should be 2-3 click for a given information to display.
I fork the design repo - as I make changes I will commit and update this issue
Dashboard
The dashboard is the most important UI for most EMR systems. I have some suggestion as to how we can populate it with most useful information.
1. Search:
Search only appears on certain pages but I think we can make it more universal by using the top bar. By doing this we lower the number of click to information time. The amount of clicks needed before a given information is display. I have created a prototype of how a simple design can greatly improve work flow, and allow uses to get quick access to information.
2. Top Bar:
The top bar should contain buttons to important pages, for starter I think the appointment and dashboard link are crucial. when a person login, whether they are a doctor or nurse, they will need quick access to these pages.
3. Main Menu:
The main menu button should be order in according to important. Below are orders Which I think are crucial.
- Patient
- Medication
- Labs
- Images
- Appointments
- Billing
- Inventory
2. Dashboard Display:
HospitalRun current landing dashboard is blank - this component of the app perhaps is the center point for users. For now I think, having the list of patients, a section for notification and a section for calendar/appointments.
