Healthcare

Improving the quality of care homes

Client: Care Quality Commission

Responsibilities: User Experience Lead

Challenge

Managers of all health care centres in the UK are required to send information about the quality of care they provide to the regulatory, as additional evidence ahead of a formal visit from an inspector. Current legacy systems were outdated and needed improving, part of an agile team to deliver a new solution for the business while upskilling in new ways of working.

 

Key achievements

Created an approach to research that would be delivered by a joint supplier/client team. Over 100+ user research sessions completed with a wide audience such as healthcare managers, members of the general public, charity call centres and the NCSC. Interaction journeys used best practice GDS principles, patterns were repurposed where appropriate and new styled patterns created based on users needs. Upskilled client members in a variety of ways including group training, individual training for role-related tasks and shadowing as they transitioned into new positions.

Outcome

The project ran as an 8 week Alpha phase, followed by a 4 month private and public Beta phased rollout plan. The healthcare agency passed the GDS Alpha assessment (with an internal team) so was able to progress to private Beta, and start testing the live service with users over a staggered rollout.
