Before designing the interface, I stepped back to understand how information moved through a typical clinic. Rather than focusing on individual tasks, I mapped the interactions between receptionists, nurses, doctors, and patients to identify where delays actually originated.
What I found was that the biggest bottleneck wasn't the patient journey itself, it was the fragmented communication happening behind the scenes. Information existed, but it wasn't reaching the right people at the right time.

Rather than separating triage into multiple steps, I combined assessment, prioritisation, and room assignment into a single workflow. Keeping related decisions together reduces context switching and helps patients move through the clinic more efficiently.
