"Redesigns are emotional, too." 💯

I've found the gardening analogy very useful when describing the need for content maintenance. But deciding who the content gnome will be is often the stumbling block.

Thanks. Great data & breakdowns but only for AHPRA-registered professions. Still so much missing / invisible health workforce data for other allied health professions. Would be good to somehow capture that centrally too.

Late reply & no resources sorry, but totally agree with you on this. It's so common to see sales/marketing content beyond the sale. Once I've purchased/signed up I don't need to be convinced, just be able to use the product + access support if needed.

Looking fwd to your list. I'm not currently in a content-specific role but still trying to influence thinking, approaches & processes in content for health professionals.

Great article and concept. "The emphasis shift[ed] from just diagnostics and treatment prescription to education and sharing a treatment plan and navigating patients through this." So powerful.

I've raised poor onboarding experiences with orgs (some done thru 3rd parties). Their response was "yes it's bad isn't it but you only have to do it once".

Thx for sharing. Enjoyed your earlier post too (7 mths as NHS HoP). How you describe your role as product leader with no individ products + sitting in the service layer b/n policy, commissioning & delivery. So much work needed in this space at all levels in health (I'm in AUS). Look after yourself

Agree. Even with PREMS (pt-reported exp measures) so much of medicine is measured in outcomes rather than experiences.

With experience in healthcare, oprational comms in a medical setting, as a patient, and with an interest in content design/user centred design, this is something I really think could be improved. I'm surprised it hasn't been already. What am I missing?
