Project Overview
We redesigned how clinical abstractions are handled across a wide range of healthcare registries—streamlining complex data requirements, supporting multiple user roles, and enabling real-time collaboration, all while maintaining strict regulatory compliance at every step.

Built for Abstractors. Designed to Save Time.

To reduce time spent by abstractors on repetitive manual checks, we streamlined the validation of multiple data sources by combining automated analysis with thoughtful UX. By identifying overlaps and semantic variations across registries (e.g., “DOB” vs. “Date of Birth”), we designed real-time validation flows with clear messaging, progressive disclosure, and automated cross-checking. The result: faster, more accurate data entry with less cognitive load—giving abstractors more time to focus on higher-value work.

Co-Creating with Experts to Cut Through Complexity

We partnered closely with subject matter experts to deeply understand real-world workflows across registry types. By observing their day-to-day processes and listening to their challenges, we uncovered the hidden friction points—like ambiguous fields, repetitive workarounds, and manual bottlenecks—and used those insights to design smarter, more streamlined solutions that actually work in practice, not just on paper.

Driving Efficiency, Saving Time, and Reducing Costs

We streamlined patient onboarding and eligibility verification, eliminating redundant work across departments and accelerating time-to-care and billing. Centralized data also improved reporting, auditing, and compliance.
Impact Highlights:
  • Up to $509K/year in cost savings through reduced labor and fewer data entry errors
  • 40% faster task completion for staff, saving up to 165 hours per week in high-volume hospitals
  • Achieved WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, making the platform more accessible for patients of all abilities
