Provider directory

Provider directory

for iOS & Android - 2018

Feature description

In Ovia Health’s provider directory, Ovia App Family users can search and add/remove healthcare providers to their Ovia app account from a directory of health care providers specializing in fertility, pregnancy, and pediatrics. The objective of this new feature is to improve users’ access to higher quality, lower cost care, so they can choose the best provider for them. 

The design process

Hypothesis

If Ovia Pregnancy had a provider directory, users would add their maternity healthcare providers to their app settings

Risks

  • Ovia Health provider directory will be inaccurate  

  • Users and providers will not trust Ovia 

  • Valuable information will be missing for many providers

Assumptions

  • Ovia’s directory will have accurate and trustworthy information 

  • Users will trust Ovia with their healthcare information 

  • Users will provide satisfaction data on their healthcare providers

Objective

  • Increase value of Ovia Health fertility, maternity and family solution by improving Ovia Health users’ access to higher quality, lower cost care, so that they can choose the best provider for them

  • Increase the % of active Ovia Pregnancy users who’ve added their provider from 5% to 20% in 6 months post release

User stories

WOMEN & FAMILIES

  • A woman wants to add her provider to Ovia Pregnancy and have all of her healthcare information in one place, so she can be organized and connected   

  • A woman wants to review and rate her provider(s), so that other woman can benefit and choose the best provider 

  • A woman wants to compare her current provider to others, so she feels confident in her choice

PROVIDERS

  • A healthcare provider wants to view his/her quality data, so he/she can compare to national data and peers

  • A healthcare provider wants to have a profile in Ovia, so he/she can increase his/her practice's exposure and acquire new patients

  • A healthcare provider wants to have a digital element to their practice, so he/she can increase patient engagement, satisfaction, and retention 

  • A healthcare provider wants a reliable source of information about fertility and pregnancy to point her patients toward, reducing demand on the practice to answer questions and provide information

EMPLOYERS (CUSTOMERS)

  • An employer wants people to engage and add their providers to Ovia, so they can see improved health outcomes and reduced healthcare costs, including but not limited to: PTD and C-section rate

Back to the drawing board

Based on feedback from my team, and due to the sheer size and complexity of the project, I went back to the drawing board and reassessed the provider directory designs. To make them easier to build for the engineering team, I split the project up into 5 phases - each would function as a stand alone product, but every additional phase would introduce further complexities and enhancements. I created the following charts to help communicate the strategy to the team.

Samples from final designs

Later phases of Ovia’s provider directory are planned for release by Q2 2020
