01 Context
Nurses waste over an hour per shift manually charting patient information into electronic health records (EHR).
Accurate patient records are essential for billing and compliance. Yet documenting this information in systems like Epic remains a time-consuming, manual process.
02 Discovery
What if nurses could verify documentation instead of writing it from scratch?
After talking to nurses, I saw an opportunity to automate manual charting with AI, so nurses could focus on reviewing and approving patient records instead of entering everything themselves.
Today
Proposed
Three priorities verified with nurses guided my early explorations:
Nurses need to quickly verify patient information without reading through lengthy AI-generated notes.
AI handles the documentation, but nurses have the ability to edit and approve records before submission.
The experience should complement how nurses already chart, avoiding unnecessary disruptions to patient care.
Making AI-assisted charting easy to review, edit, and trust.
I started sketching low-fidelity wireframes to explore how nurses could review AI-generated records without adding more work to their shifts.
03 Iteration
Three iterations, each shaped by nurse feedback.
I refined the experience based on nurse feedback. Along the way, I navigated healthcare privacy requirements and helped establish a consistent design system.
Nurses recorded patient visits, but struggled to keep track of them.
Nurses recorded visits for AI charting, but back-to-back patients made recordings hard to recall.
- Make information easy to scan
- Keep nurses in control
- Fit into existing workflows
Choose the patient
Nurses pick who they're charting for first, so nothing lands in the wrong record.
04 Outcome
Less time charting. More time caring for patients.
We shipped an AI charting assistant that handles documentation while keeping nurses in control of what enters the EHR.
By reducing manual charting, the experience was designed to give nurses more time for patient care.

05 Revisited
What I'd design differently today
Looking back, I wanted to explore what Altrix could look like without the technical and design constraints that shaped the shipped experience.
