Dealing with the problem

Receptionists need to notify patients about test/order results.

During the discovery process, I noticed that handling a high volume of requests and orders is quite challenging.


Therefore, I was able to envision some alternatives to optimize the receptionist's time, arriving at two main solutions.

First, I opted for a structure with two automatic trigger buttons at the top. The first focuses on exams, and the second on reminding patients who meet certain criteria for appointments and haven't yet received an automated reminder.



The other solution is the new structure of icons attached to the new client cards. Through the paper-shaped icon, the receptionist can quickly understand if the client's report is complete and ready to be received.

The Automatic Batch Actions have triggers that can execute some actions.

The first button is for exam results, helping the receptionist quickly identify which clients already have their exams ready. He/She just have to press one button and confirm the action.

The second button is related to triggering reminders for patients who meet specific criteria defined in the system's settings area.

The second solution, it’s directly related to the patient’s chats cards.

The solution proposed help the receptionist quick understand how many patients has the exam results ready or who have the results delayed/with deliver problem.

If the first icon is a Yellow Exclamtion, means that some problem happen.

If the first icon is a paper-shaped in green color, means that the results are ready to send.

The Bell Icon is a shortcut to send a reminder for only that patient.

The general structure that was something like a e-mail preview, was redesigner to be a chat area. With this solution, the receptionists con quickly deal with the clientes that are using a message app.

With the automation like chatbot powered by A.I, the recepcionist can just manage the content for specific contexts that require human suport.

The three icons strategy in the patients bar reinforce the flexibility of this solution for quick acess.

This kind of solution helps to resolve quickily small problems, validate contexts, generate reminders thath have more chances to be seen and can deal with a more human touch by talking directly with a human, or a simulation of a human.

Based on the brief, I created a macro visual of the Receptionist, Doctor, Patient and Laboratory Exam’s journeys.

This helps me to see the macro scenario, and understand holistically the context of the receptionist.

This approach allows me to explore solutions for the problems outlined in the brief.

This foundation will guide the next steps of my process.
