ALLSCRIPTS MILITARY PROTOTYPE
Designed a voice-first clinical documentation tool for medics and physicians operating in active military combat. The core constraints: users couldn't stop treating patients to type, so the application had to capture spoken input in real time and structure it for downstream clinical review. This required designing for divided attention, ambient noise and high-stakes error tolerance simultaneously while pushing the boundaries of what a traditional EHR iteration model could handle.

PROBLEM :
Combatants within the field need to have a quick and efficient way of documenting their colleagues injuries. Users will need to have a quick and efficient way of documenting their colleagues injuries. Users will also need to be able to use the application completely hands-free.
Objective :
Our team came up with the concept of implementing "Voice-to-Text" software within the application to allow users to document soldiers injuries, conditions, treatment, etc. Users will also be able to upload their information directly to an existing cloud platform.
Feature Breakdown :
User Feature
Reasoning
Injury Location
Allow medics to quickly pinpoint and log the anatomical
site of trauma, reducing documentation when it matters.
Clear Vitals
Enables clinicians to record and document vital signs in
a single action.
Alert, Verbal, Pain, Unresponsive (AVPU)
Captures a rapid neurological assessment of the patients
conscious level.
Pain
Logs the patient's self-reported or observed pain level in
real time, creating a timestamped record.
Treatment
Documents the interventions administered in the field,
ensuring a complete and accurate care history is available.
Feature Breakdown Design :
Each feature shown within this design enables users to have a clear way to document and translate their patients current history in real time. Afterwards, users are prompted to upload the patients information to their own cloud systems — later allowing doctor's and clinicians to have a real and accurate data to treat their patients.
CHALLENGE:
Prior to this project, I had little to no knowledge about Military Physicians. However, I was eager to learn on how I can make this application as efficient as possible. I have had the opportunity to interview 10 physicians who have had military experience. The main goal was to understand what was needed to make this application as successful as possible.
High Fidelity Designs :
Implementing the Design Process - I'm still learning as a UX Designer, however, I'm trying to actively implement the design process within my work. But what does that look like? The importance of research and understanding is critical to creating a probable solution to the users needs. However, I had three takeaways from working on this project:
Don’t be afraid to try new things - As an associate designer and someone who was overall new to the company, I was extremely critical of myself to try to make the best first impression within my design work. Especially as a perfectionist, I wanted to ensure that I delivered a refined product first before I submitting it to my manager for review.
Modernizing an interface for sales - Being completely new to the corporate life has definitely thrown me for a loop. I was given this project for the purpose of selling something that could not only be useful for sales, but to save lives. I’m hoping in the future I can continue to grow as a designer to implement the design process within my everyday worklife.

The importance of research and understanding is critical to creating a probable solution to the users needs. If given the chance to ‘re-do’ this project the research portion of the process would definitely be more in depth.
Outcome :
The solution moved from prototype to production — integrated directly into Allscritps' military application to support real time clinical care within the field.
