Michigan Center For Nursing Workforce and Policy
Web
Michigan's Center for Nursing Workforce and Policy is an organization that assists Michigan's Chief Nurse Executive in analyzing and providing recommendations to address nursing issues and needs within the state of Michigan.They needed a website to be able to disseminate information to the public, collect information through an online form, and they needed a collaborative area to work on draft documents and reports and to coordinate meetings and events. I designed and developed the front end of this site and connected it to a Microsoft SharePoint site collection. Online form programming by Rocco Sansotta.

Region 4 Genetics Collaborative Logo Design
Logo Design
The Region 4 Genetics Collaborative is a multi-state organization that co-ordinates and tracks in-born genetic disorders and provides resources and support for families and medical providers. They needed a new website design and in the process they realized that a new logo would also be appropriate. I developed several approaches and this one, seen here, was selected. Over the past few years of use, the logo has been highly praised by Region 4 professionals and the general public.

MPHI Web 2.0 and Social Networking WBT
WBT
A coworker and I were tasked with designing and developing MPHI's training for Web 2.0 and Social Networking usage in line with MPHI's existing policies. I designed the skin and helped in gathering and developing material for this course. This web-based training (WBT) is currently used by MPHI. Users must take the course and pass the test before access to sites like Facebook and Twitter are granted.

Michigan Health Information Network (MiHIN) is an organization that works to promote the use of electronic health records and assistive technology in the Michigan healthcare industry.

CHAMPS User Guides and Quick References
Web/Print
CHAMPS is the state of Michigan's new Medicaid management system. The MPHI ISG Training Team was tasked with providing training for the State of Michigan on this new system. We provided WBTs (Web Based Trainings), ILTs (Instructor Led Trainings), Webcasts, User Guides and Quick References. I helped design the look and feel of this training material. For the User Guides and Quick References, I created InDesign templates and helped the trainers get material laid out and printed.

CORT: Collaborative Online Review Tool
Application
What happens when you need to have lots of individual users review and provide feedback for multiple WBT's (Web Base Trainings) and provide that feedback in a consistent manner? You build a web application! CORT was the brainstorm idea of the MPHI ISG Training Team. CORT is an online web application that allows users to review WBTs, provide feedback, and review existing feedback. Administrators can add new users, upload modules for review, and deactivate old modules. I was tasked with architecting the requirements for the developers and managing the project for the ISG Training Team. I created wire frames, specification documents, and even a Flash prototype for the developers to use. The ISG Training team has found CORT to be invaluable in collecting and acting on feedback for our Web Based Trainings.

DNM MI Counties Flash Map
Flash
Disability Network Michigan (DNM) wanted a more interactive way for users to find DNM resources within nearby Michigan counties. It seems odd that an organization devoted to helping those with disabilities would choose Flash, but that is what they wanted and at least they provided an alternate, more accessible method for accessing this information. I developed this ActionScript 3, XML-driven map with all the Michigan counties. When a county is clicked, the appropriate information is displayed and eventually fades out over time. The text is selectable and the URLs clickable. The XML is created dynamically by a backend CMS that the client can update. http://www.dnmichigan.org/contacts/default.aspx

MPHI Flash Banner
Flash
Yes. The dreaded Flash banner. MPHI wanted a rotating Flash banner on their front page to highlight specific items of interest. Built in ActiosnScript 3 and pulling data from an XML data file, this Flash banner can be easily updated with new items. Clicking on an item takes the viewer to a page with more information and details. http://mphi.org/

MPHI Flash Map
Flash
I designed and developed the Flash map used on the Michigan Public Health Institute's website. Rolling over the text or the purple buildings causes the approriate building to expand and reveal the building number while the background blurs just a touch to help knockout the background distractions. I used Illustrator to prepare the map, importing the needed artwork into Flash where I also coded the functionality up. This was one of my first Flash projects using ActionScript 3. It's quite nice I think, although I am sure there is room for improvement. http://mphi.org/directions.aspx

Michigan Child Death Scene Investigation Report form design and production
Print/eForm
CDR (Child Death Review), a program of MPHI, wanted to create a form for Michigan police, medical investigators, and other trained professionals to conduct Child Death Scene Investigation Reports. This information is used to track childhood deaths, spot areas where improved policy may be helpful, and, in some cases, identify where legal action is required. Two forms were created - a printed version and an electronic PDF form. This was a very sobering project to work on.

Michigan's WIC program is introducing new foods to support mothers and newborns, while also promoting breastfeeding.

Web
MCC (Michigan Cancer Consortium) wanted to update its associated websites to look more modern and make it more usable for its diverse audience of users. This is the Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program website design. The client also wanted an easy way to change some of the visuals and so I built a Flash "app" to allow them to easily update or change the images. Variations of this Flash app were used across the three sites. I also built an HTML email template for them.
