Core User Testing and Insights

Priority segment user interviews:

Consumer profiles— Prospective patients— Existing patients— Caregivers of existing patients

Out-of-network referring physicians

15

Strategic Focus / New Direction of Site Audience group focus with segment-specific objectives

— Prospective patients— Existing patients— Referring MDs

New site organizational model — Model is user-centric; not based on Mass General org chart— Global & Receding Navigation concept (1 website, not 350)

Contextual content model to support cross-referencing— Content is no longer in siloed & static web pages— Amazon.com model: dynamic content; shared across the site
