The reviews are in! Our redesigned UFHealthJax.org went live in June to rave reviews. Many of you praised the beautiful, modern look. We certainly agree. After two-plus years in the making, and a stellar effort by our Web Services team, visitors are now greeted with a more engaging and welcoming layout, improved navigation and updated features.

We are especially pleased that the redesign offers more meaningful content for our patients. With a focus
on health information, the website allows patients to easily find conditions and treatments and the expert physicians who can help them at a convenient, nearby location.

Now that you’ve seen the finished product, here’s a brief look at how it was created. UF Health Web Services, representing both the Communications and IT departments, conducted extensive research on how people use health care websites.

First, the teams collected online user surveys and performed in-person testing of people’s needs, wants and behaviors when looking online. Then they began the work of assessing the collected intel
and programming the results into a new content management system. All of the research, analysis and planning has paid off. The end result is a website tailored to better support prospective patients in their health care decision-making.

Here are some added benefits for users:
✓ An attractive, welcoming look
✓ More user-friendly, intuitive navigation
✓ Engaging health topic content, customized and linked to our providers and resources
✓ Expanded provider directory, offering meaningful information to help patients choose the physician who best matches their needs
✓ Easier to find physician clinical research interests and accomplishments
✓ Geolocation tools to help visitors find the best care close to home
✓ Faster performance on desktop computers and mobile devices
