The CMS Innovation Center was established by Congress in 2010 to identify ways to improve healthcare quality and reduce costs in the Medicare, Medicaid, and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) programs.
Problem
The CMS Innovation Center needed to improve comprehension of their content and increase enrollment in their programs. The site design had not been updated since 2014.
Goal
Ideate solutions to improve user experience and deliver high-fidelity wireframes for the Division of Research’s user testing.
Scope and Constraints
Prior to this effort, we had a 2 month discovery phase to uncover issues and make recommendations.
Recommended a phased approach:
- Focused on the needs of one targeted user group with the areas that have the most traffic and impact on users
- As the only designer working on this initiative in a short time frame, I identified areas for incremental improvement
Users
- 80,000 monthly users
- Health providers and organizations who want to participate in CMS payment models
