User Experience Designer
The last section of our site overhaul was the newsroom. This became an even higher priority once Covid-19 hit and patients needed quick and reliable resources when it came to new hospital standards and procedures, Covid testing and access to vaccine information.
What we needed to achieve:
Create opportunities to integrate other Mercy.net content (service pages, locations, etc.) into the news story in a seamless manner
Create opportunities to showcase related stories based on things like community or topic tags
Introduce a better way to link out to external sites, such as local news outlets, within a news story
Incorporate design framework from active UX Overhaul pieces and pages for consistency
Provide access to other community news articles as well as a pre-filtered community news search
Incorporate an updated ‘media contact’ component that better displays contact info with a higher priority on the page
Create opportunities to feature callout quotes from articles.
Consolidate filter options into common search topic categories for faster and more accurate search results
Present the top filter options with an expandable menu to view additional filters if needed
Narrow down article search by community
Align the the overall look of the search results cards with the other search pages on mercy.net for consistency
Update this page to match what exists on the other overhaul efforts on mercy.net (providers, locations and services)
Rework the content hierarchy and design of the contact info for easier viewing.
Allow all media contacts to be viewed at the same time or grouped by the specific community they represent
