CASE STUDY

Improving Data Visualization and Design Consistency

OVERVIEW

I improved the quality and consistency of the data visualization on the Trisus Medication Dashboard and wider platform. The dashboard was already in development with set data points, but the charts were not designed to follow industry best practices. My work focused on auditing the existing dashboard, researching best practices, and creating scalable patterns and components to ensure clarity, accessibility, and consistency across all products in Trisus.

PROBLEM

The Medication Dashboard charts were visually cluttered, inconsistently designed, and did not follow data visualization best practices.

There was also no shared design pattern or guidance for designers, which led to inconsistencies in charts and inefficiencies in interpreting data.

PROJECT GOALS

  • Improve clarity and readability of data visualizations on the Medication dashboard

  • Ensure accessibility compliance (colour, labels, contrast)

  • Create a consistent, reusable data visualization pattern library for designers

  • Provide guidelines and decision tools for appropriate chart selection

  • Develop a flexible, reusable chart component with mandatory and optional elements

USER STORY: UX DESIGNER

“As a UX Designer on the Trisus platform, I want to create standardized, accessible chart components and patterns so that users can consistently interpret data across products and designers can efficiently build dashboards.”
