UI/UX Design for healthcare practices

UI/UX design works out how people move through your website or product to complete a task, then designs screens that make each step obvious. For healthcare practices, that means getting practitioner profiles, services and conditions treated and fees, rebates and what to expect right, because patients choosing a practitioner and booking appointments want to book an appointment without hunting for information.

What your customers are trying to do

Patients choosing a practitioner and booking appointments want to book an appointment.

A healthcare practice website usually has to handle online appointment booking, new patient forms before the first visit, practitioner and staff recruitment and a page for each clinic location.

Online appointment booking: patients book at night and on weekends when reception is closed.

New patient forms before the first visit: collecting details in advance shortens the first appointment, provided health information is handled with care.

Practitioner and staff recruitment: practices recruit regularly, and candidates check the website first.

A page for each clinic location: patients search for the nearest clinic, so each location needs its own details.

What to have ready
