Kaiser Permanente – Michael Mondragon

KAISER PERMANENTE, Contract

The Product: The Northwest CPC (Community Provider Connect) is a regional online portal for Kaiser Permanente in Oregon and Southwest Washington that assists medical providers and affiliates in searching for claims, explanations of payments, eligibility and benefits, pre-authorizations, and more. Information can be accessed via a desktop computer, tablet, or internally through OneHealthPort.com.

Project Duration: 2014 to 2022

The Problem: This portal was not up to the current web standards, and user experience and design were dated.

Because of this, providers were not able to get the proper information quickly, and they immediately would call the helpline. That action would incur a cost of $10-$13 per call.

The Goal: Implementations of new features, State Compliance regulations, and current accessibility standards were always the highest priorities for this portal.

My Role: Product Design, Information Architecture, and UI/UX Design

Responsibilities: My work on this project was to redesign, refine, and update the complete portal (including the information architecture) and improve the overall user interface and experience. I had to consider that this portal was strictly going to be used on desktop computers and tablets.

I created a 265-page PDF document that was built in Adobe InDesign and served as an up-to-date visual compilation for the development, business, and testing teams. This document became the blueprint of the portal, combining the brand standards, accessibility, and complete end-to-end user flow.

With this in place, along with a visual prototype built in inVision, I communicated my design thinking. Product owners and business leads can now complete their goals and meet State requirements.
