The Challenge

Healthcare professionals needed a resource hub that was easy to navigate and appeared modern and clear, so they can equip themselves with information to teach others.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS), 90% American adults struggle with health literacy. Health literacy is defined as the ability to find, understand, and use information and services to make informed health decisions, for example being able to understand doctor diagnoses and prescription instructions or navigate the intricacies of the US healthcare system.

What We Did

We redesigned and restructured the framework, user experience, and interface of the Health Center Solutions Center Hub.

Playing Jenga with the Page Infrastructure

We restructured the backbone of the site to make sure all the pages had a home that was intuitive and easy to get to. We collected user input and feedback, through card sorting and interviews to understand assumptions made about categorization and content.

Creating a web experience that amplifies a wealth of information

Utilizing user feedback, we honed in on language, layout, and hierarchy so that every person on the website can find what they need quickly and with ease. IHA is known in the health literacy community for their conferences and educational training, but has a breadth of other resources. We wanted to make the website could serve as a hub of information, rather than a health event list.
