Enhancing the Muse Patient Census Page for Better Usability
The Muse Patient Census page had several usability and accessibility issues that impacted clinician workflow. Filters took up excessive space, limiting the number of visible patients, while inconsistent UI patterns and a lack of responsiveness made navigation cumbersome. Additionally, the absence of a global search bar hindered quick patient lookups. The goal of this redesign was to improve efficiency, accessibility, and responsiveness for a seamless user experience.
Challenges
-
Filters occupied the top of the page, reducing the number of visible patients in the table.
-
Non-standard UI patterns were used throughout the experience, including inaccessible color choices and improper component usage.
-
The layout wasn’t responsive, causing the table to push content off the screen, including the top navigation.
-
No global search bar in the header, making patient searches inefficient.
The previous Muse Patient Census was not responsive, had dated look and feel dated, and used non-standard web patterns throughout .

Provided affordances for selected filters, displaying active filters within each filter box and adding a clear filters option.
