Patient Portal UX Overhaul

Harborview's patient portal was functional but frustrating — patients were calling the front desk to do things the portal was supposed to handle.

Concept case study — client, brief and figures are illustrative

The project

Challenge & solution

A quick look at what we walked into and how we approached it.

The challenge

Booking an appointment took an average of 9 clicks, records were buried under confusing navigation, and the portal failed basic accessibility checks.

Our solution

We ran usability sessions with real patients, redesigned booking around a 3-step flow, and rebuilt the UI on an accessible design system that passes WCAG AA.
