Included Health

All Included Care

I led the product design vision, definition and implementation of the All-Included Care service offering, which merged the services of two legacy organizations - Doctor on Demand and Grand Rounds. The service combined healthcare navigation with with virtual clinical care (virtual primary care, behavioral health, and urgent care) and was designed to make healthcare experiences more convenient, seamless, and accessible for members.

Role: Director of Product Design

The All Included Care Vision

This was Doctor Owen - he was my family’s doctor for the first 18 years of my life. He delivered both me and my sister. He sewed 12 stitches into my face when I was 5 years old after I ran in front of kids on the swingset at school because I wasn’t getting my turn. And he held my mom’s hand when my grandmother passed away in the local nursing home.

This was Dr. Owen’s wife, Dorothy. She was an RN and managed most of the administrative aspects their medical practice. If you couldn’t pay your bill, she figured out a payment plan. If there was trouble with your insurance, she would get on the phone and figure it out for you. And if you had any issues filling your prescriptions, she would walk next door to Brower Pharmacy and get things sorted.

For the first 18 years of my life, Dr. Owen and his wife, Dorothy were my medical team. And they weren’t just my medical team - they were the medical team for everyone in our rural farming community in Northern Iowa.

When I think about All Included Care, and the kind of experience we aspire to deliver at scale, I think a lot about these two. I think about how we can create a system that gets out of the way, and enables and empowers our clinicians and care coordinators to foster the kind of deep relationships Dr. Owen and Dorothy had with their patients at scale.  

The heart of AIC is that every member we serve deserves this kind of team - and our opportunity is figuring out how to deliver it at scale

All Included Care
Vision Videos

In order to realize the vision of All Included Care many diverse stakeholders across the organization had to be invested and aligned on key aspects of the service. In order to drive that organizational alignment, I lead a team of designers and writers through the creation of three vision videos. These videos depicted the experience and highlighted key features we would build for our members, our clinicians and our care coordinators.

Alienated Allie

Members like Allie have low trust in the healthcare system and avoid going to seeing doctors often because of cost concerns. Members like Allie often sacrifice seeking healthcare for themselves so that their children can receive it.

  • Access to high-quality, affordable and convenient behavioral health services

  • Access to a dedicated Care Coordinator

  • In-App management for dependents

  • Access to high-quality, affordable and convenient urgent care

  • Digital personalized care guidance
    delivered in-app

Optimistic Olivia

Members like Olivia actively engage in healthcare for both herself and her family. Her key concerns are finding culturally concordant care, and support in understanding medical costs.

  • Access to culturally concordant clinicians and care coordinators

  • Member profile with timeline of care history, and data-driven recommendations

  • Smart referrals - easy and convenient access to in-network clinicians and the therapists

  • Panel manangement for clinicians and care coordinators

Wary Wendy

Members like Wendy actively engage in healthcare, but are acutely aware of the pitfalls - inconvenience, lack of continuity of care and a no personal connection to the people delivering care.

  • Streamlined sign-up

  • Enhanced Dr. profiles

  • Member snapshot for clinicians

  • Healthy Days

  • Post-visit messaging with clear next steps

Key Features of the Experience

Timeline-Based Member Profile

What it is: A single, federated representation of each member that highlights important information in the form of a timeline and includes streamlined views of a member’s coverage, past interactions, clinical history, recommended actions, and healthy days

What it does: It helps the care team quickly find relevant information so that members feel like each interaction is building on the last one

What it is like: How Basecamp presents all of the details of a project in an easy-to-navigate, easy-to-digest format

Dedicated Care Team

What it is: A redesigned app homepage that emphasizes the dedicated care team and the next steps a member should take in their care journey

What it does: It makes it easy for members to access and communicate with their dedicated care team. Allows members to understand where they are in their care journey and the actions they should take next

What it is like: Quick access to stories on Instagram; a ‘to do’ list based on the care you are receiving

Enhanced Doctor Profiles

What it is: Create and showcase richer content on provider profiles such as patient reviews, photos, and video intros

What it does: Enables members to see a more human side of their provider in order to make an informed decision on whether this provider would be a good fit for them

Why this concept: Members currently only see the provider’s qualifications, without a deeper understanding of a provider’s personality and approach to care

Personalized Member Content

Relevant videos and articles surfaced on a member’s homepage driven by member context (interests, actions, claims history)

What it does: Satisfy member curiosity about areas of interest in their health. Demystify telehealth and other services that might need deeper explanation (e.g. EMO, VPC, BH). Nudge members towards additional steps of care

What it is like: Spotify and Netflix content recommendations; ‘For You’ on Tiktok

Why this concept: We know members get a lot of information online to support decision-making around care, but it isn’t very trustworthy
