VIDEO TRANSCRIPT | Recorded: 2018-04-23 | Verify against current system state

Abstract

Practice department website content review for AANP redesign. Team establishes three main content buckets: Clinical Practice (CPGs, clinical resources), Practice Management (reimbursement, quality, business operations), and Professional Development (career resources, grants, leadership). Discussion addresses overlap between Education and Practice content, recommending single-source pages linked from multiple locations. Content organized by user persona (new NPs vs established NPs) rather than department structure.

Key Procedures

  • Organize practice content into three buckets: Clinical Practice, Practice Management, Professional Development
  • Consolidate clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) to single page linked from multiple locations
  • Separate clinical content from business/administrative content
  • Address overlap with Education department resources
  • Create funding opportunities page for grants and scholarships
  • Plan content migration priorities for October launch
  • Inventory existing URLs and categorize into new structure

Notable Statements

  • 0:03:43 "What we felt could go away and what we needed to add."

  • 0:10:01 "All of this stuff, this and your stuff would be on one page and you would link to it from education and practice."
  • 0:11:57 "Professional practice. I'm not sure if that's a label that's really going to have a clear definition in some of our users' minds."
  • 0:22:06 "As a practicing NP, when you are caring for patients with that particular disease or illness, there's an expectation that you're going to follow the latest clinical practice guidelines."
