Quick overview

Quick overview

Programed is a healthcare scheduling system used in pediatric wards to coordinate appointments and support doctors in patient follow-ups.

Users experienced delays and frustration due to inefficient workflows and lack of error recovery.

I redesigned key flows, introduced recovery paths, and improved visual hierarchy to support real-world usage.

This resulted in a 25% reduction in patient waiting times and more efficient task completion for medical staff.

Process

Process

I conducted field observations and user interviews with doctors and administrative staff to understand how they interacted with the system in daily contexts.

Mapped critical user flows to identify inefficiencies, unnecessary steps, and points of friction in scheduling and patient management.

Iterated through redesigns, testing different approaches to improve usability, clarity, and efficiency while maintaining system consistency.

“If I click the wrong patient, I have to start over from scratch.”

“If I click the wrong patient, I have to start over from scratch.”

Critical tasks required too many steps, screens lacked clear hierarchy, and users had no way to recover from common mistakes, leading to delays in patient care.

Decisions

Decisions

Simplified key workflows by reducing steps and consolidating screens to improve task efficiency

Introduced recovery paths (e.g. cancellation and error handling) to support real-world usage

Redesigned visual hierarchy using readable typography and low-saturation colors to reduce eye strain

Improved navigation clarity to minimize cognitive load during repetitive tasks

Created a scalable design system and UI kit to ensure consistency and support future product growth

Before

Incomplete user-flows, messy navigation, outdated UI

  • Users could not delete or edit an appointment

  • Users had poor control over shows and no-shows

  • The system had many unnecesary pages

  • Poor visual hierarchy leading to accesibility

    & usability issues

  • No feedback from the system at all

  • Data was all in text format, making it difficult to

    quickly understand patient evolution

After

Complete user-flows, improved navigation, updated UI

  • Users now have recovery path for most common mistakes

  • Total control over the schedule (edit, replace, delete) and

    control over show and no-show.

  • Merged screens to reduce navigation

  • Feedback from the system on common events like

    appointment status, data changes, etc.

  • Dashboard for data overview allowing for quick scans on

    patient evolution

Outcome

Outcome

  • Reduced patient waiting times by 25% by improving scheduling efficiency

  • Decreased user fatigue through improved readability and visual hierarchy

  • Enabled faster task completion for both medical and administrative staff

  • Reduced administrative errors by supporting real-world workflows and recovery scenarios

  • Delivered a scalable design system to support long-term product evolution
