The Challenge

The current website required manual tabulation of scores and issuance of completion certificates.

Project Goals

  • Convert to mobile website so physicians can access via their phones
  • Fully automate quiz scoring
  • Automatically send certificates upon successful completion

The Process

Sitemaps

We did a thorough review of the old system to figure out the best way to make it mobile only. I created a sitemap for the user side to show all the screens and show how they relate to each other. A second sitemap was created for the administration to manage content and quizzes.

Admin

User

User Wireframes

With the sitemaps approved, I moved on to the wireframes. This is where I started to fine tune the screen structure and navigation.

Flowchart

With the final screen mockups for the user side created, I put together a flowchart to verify we had all the screens we needed.

Admin Wireframes

To accomplish the automated tabulation of scores, I created mockups for a simple admin system where the client could manage content and quizzes. Due to budget considerations, I created high-fidelity wireframes ready for development.

Scoring and Certificate

We created a system to score each quiz. Once all quizzes are completed, the final tabulation determines if it’s a pass or fail. A pass score allows the user to send the certificate to their email.

Results

The Permanente Journal officially launched the new mobile website in 2015. As of today, the system is still in use. The organization’s CME certification process has been successfully automated.
