Validus designs software systems for hospitals to incorporate Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) into their hospital-wide information system networks. Validus’ product is aimed at optimizing aspects of hospital workflow around in-patient order entry.

A primary product focus is to make physicians more effective by providing them with ubiquitous, intuitive, and efficient access to the order-entry service via wireless PDAs.


Validus asked us to consider interaction details that had been raised in an early prototype, and to provide ongoing UI design for ongoing product development. We provided a way of thinking about the system that provided a framework for the interaction details, and clarified how to move forward with the interface.
