Goals

Nemours Children’s Health is a leading pediatric health system and is one of the largest integrated pediatric health systems in the country. It has two free-standing hospitals and over 95 outpatient locations across New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Florida. As a system, Nemours Children’s offers pediatric primary, urgent, specialty, and hospital care.

Nemours was rebranding its multi-state pediatric health website and needed to communicate with regional patient audiences in a way that did not fragment the digital experience.

Nemours had three main goals for this website redesign:

  1. Provide a high-quality website design that highlights consistent communication with patients and healthcare professionals.
  2. Create tools for Nemours team members to add content to the website pain-free.
  3. Offer a streamlined online experience.

User Experience Research

Modea’s UX/UI team conducted in-depth web strategy research across all service lines, aligning our findings with Nemours’ broader organizational goals. We partnered closely with their rebranding agency to ensure consistency across brand and digital experiences, and provided strategic input on Nemours’ digital presence by assessing how users perceived and interacted with the existing website and content.

Our research uncovered gaps in the user journey, content organization, and navigation structure, highlighting opportunities to improve clarity and usability. These insights shaped the foundation for the website redesign, guiding our team as we transitioned into designing a modern, user-friendly site that reflects Nemours’ mission and better serves patients, families, and providers.

 

 

Designing an Innovative Healthcare Website 

Our team built a customized and innovative website that executed their goals and provided a better digital patient experience.

Modea’s engineering team developed a componentized solution spanning 40 digital components that allowed all pages of the website to be built from a common digital library. Digital libraries consist of many systems working together as a team and make housing the backend of the Nemours website architecture easy to manage and use.

Finding a Nemours Children’s Health location near you has also been simplified by the site’s ability to tailor medical service and specialty locations specific to one’s general region. When you enter the site, your ISP IP will assign you to a region of care within the Nemours system. This assignment allows the content, which is written specifically for the users region, to display to the user within an in-page component and leverages advanced features within the Adobe Experience Manager content management system.

The overarching design elements that comprise the new Nemours website enable the seamless and cohesive online experience Nemours sought to provide its users. To maintain the design of the new website, we provided image masking capabilities and theming of the website’s components. This solution allows the design system to be flexible to stylistic changes, which makes altering content on the website a painless process.

This includes different:

  • Media placements
  • Text variations
  • Backgrounds
  • Colors
  • Content Fragments

Content fragments allow one to design, create, curate, and publish page independent content. This feature enables changes by a single edit and is an advanced feature that furthers simplicity in adding content to the site.

Including component theming allows expansion to all web properties that use the component library and are used to modify existing components to fit a specific visual style. So, should the Nemours team or a sub-brand, like Nemours Kidshealth, want to create a slightly different theme on its site, the measures we put in place require a minimal lift to make those changes.
