Overview

Meridian Health is a multi-location healthcare network serving over 200,000 patients. Their fragmented digital presence — separate sites for each location, an outdated patient portal, and no telehealth capability — was creating friction for patients and staff alike. We unified everything into a single, patient-centered platform.

Project Goals

What We Set Out to Achieve

Unified Patient Experience

Consolidate 8 separate location websites into one cohesive platform with location-aware content and services.

Telehealth Integration

Build a seamless telehealth experience that feels as professional and trustworthy as an in-person visit.

HIPAA Compliance

Ensure all patient-facing features meet strict HIPAA requirements while maintaining a modern, user-friendly interface.

Challenges

Obstacles We Overcame

Healthcare Regulations

Navigating HIPAA, ADA accessibility requirements, and state-specific healthcare regulations while building a modern web experience.

Legacy System Integration

Connecting with Epic EHR, multiple insurance verification systems, and a legacy appointment scheduling platform.

Patient Trust

Designing an interface that feels warm and trustworthy — not clinical and cold — while maintaining the professionalism patients expect from healthcare.

Our Approach

How We Solved It

We took a 'patient journey' approach, mapping every touchpoint from symptom search to post-visit follow-up. The design uses calming colors and approachable typography to reduce healthcare anxiety. Telehealth was built with WebRTC for reliable video, with automatic fallback to phone calls. All data flows through HIPAA-compliant encrypted channels.
