Birmingham workshop: Feedback from Trainees on the potential domain of App

Profile

They asked for their profile to include any of the 'important' information about them, for them to use and share with others. A quick stop place to find out about their past details and current/future commitments and interactions. 

One place for them to update all details around their profile as a Doctor in training

  • Emails
  • Addresses
We need to make sure that the Calendar works well, and is synced similar to say 0365 Calendar and scheduling work
FeatureElementInteractionCommentsActions
ConcernsResponsibility
  • Ownership
  • Approvals
  • Signatures
  • Accountability
Who is responsible for the application when it comes to process and interactions. If the Admins send something, can we confirm in the application it e=was done, will there be transparency and clear messaging around responsibilities.We need to ensure that messaging is clear, on and off boarding is clear and who is responsible for whatLanguageCommsWe need to ensure that the coms are accurate around the process for each area of the application. The Trainees find that the language for some process and requirements can be quite confusing. Think about users with language needs and ensure this is VERY SIMPLEConsider accessibility standards and try to ensure that we keep things in plain English with help areas if neededPrivacyGDPR & AccessThey need assurance that nobody will be able to view their interactions, especially around forums and conversations/groupsWe must have a clear understanding of privacy and the issues we face with the app. We must have comms in place to assure usersDuplicatesMultiple systemsIf this Application is another system that the Trainees have to use as well as existing systems they would prefer to leave this out. If the solution actually streamlines the current issue with duplicating data efforts on multiple platforms, they think it would be a good ideaAny part of this proposed application that adds to the process should be removed/read-only. An example is ESR, if they have to update their personal details in the App and ESR, do not bother having this in the App

Personal details

Interactive/Read-only

  • Contact details
  • Change of address
  • Emails (Personal and work)
  • Record details
  • Placements
  • Courses & Training completed
Data protection and Privacy
  • Who see's what
  • Who decides this
A concern was around privacy and who can access what parts of the AppWe need to make sure that we only grant access to other user groups for certain agreed parts of the application

e-Portfolio
  • Integration
  • Syncing
We need to ensure that anything that links with their portfolios updated in real-time to avoid duplicatesWe need to work out what in the App may be bi-directional

Security
  • Backups
  • Access to the app 
They want to ensure that if they lost their phone they do not compromise there information and also have a back up of the contentThis is something we must ensure

Size of the app
  • Data 
  • Storage
They are concerned the app will be too big to download and run on older phones, plus is it Android or IOSWe need to ensure we have an app that serves all phones and models (smartphones)

OwnershipInteractionsWho is responsible for ensuring the data and content is accurate and up to dateWe need to talk this through and make it clear in comms

Courses and guidelinesInteractiveThey need to know that all the information around courses and guidelines are accurateThis is something we can investigate

Access for HRDocumentsThey want to make sure that HR only has access to relevant areas of the appWe need to check what HR needs to see

OfflineAccessibilityThey often have poor WIFI so can they still use the app in offline mode?This is vital, as most users face this problem, consider the draft versions



Log in

Multiple login access

They feel that there should be limited access to the app in the lof in process


We need to find out what this means to them

TrustsAccessWho at the trusts will have access and how often will it be updatede need to understand what the Trusts may need to access and how this might work through TIS

ProfileAudit trailWho has access to your profile in the app, they would like to know who uses their profile and whenThis may be hard to show but we can look into this
Profile #1Personal information
  • Name
  • GMC
  • DOB
  • Address
  • Specialty
  • Grade
  • Supervisor
  • Current post
They would like this to be editable and accessible to the right parts of the business. This must be synced with other systemsThis is a key area of the app to Users so we need to ensure we cover all their concerns

Training
  • Mandatory
  • Certificates
They would like access to their mandatory training to be a part of their profile, also a way to upload certificates into this areaWe can look into what this might involve, be it the document upload is a different part of the app

e-PortfoliosLinksWe need to ensure that can access e-portfolio from hereThis should be potentially easy to do, depending on how we establish these portfolios for each user

Contacts

  • Phone
  • Email
  • HEE contacts
  • NHS contacts
  • HR contacts
  • Hospital contacts
They would like a directory of who they can contact should they need toWe can look into this

ContractsInformationThey would like to have their contractual information available in their profileWe can look into how this might work

Emails

  • Plugin for NHS/Trust
AccessThey have multiple emails (email accounts), can they access these through the appNot sure how this might work but we can look into this

UploaderCertificatesCan they upload certificates into their profile to share with othersWe need to look into this, as they have old ones they may wish to keep in the App

Occupational Health
  • Information
  • Syncing
They have asked to have a page around Occupational health to be a part of their profileWe can look into this

HR
  • Sharing
  • Syncing
They would like to make sure that HR information is available but not sharable or Trusts not accepting online informationWe need to investigate what this might mean

Placements
  • Past
  • Current
  • Future
They feel this would be useful maybe links to this from a profile, with their current placements visible in the profile itselfWe can look into how this might work

Medical staffing documentsStorageThey have asked if this could be a place to host these?We can look into what this means

Leave & Entitlements
  • Access
  • Interactive
  • Read-only
  • Links
They have asked if they can have their leave and entitlements pull through to their profile, so it's clear what they have taken and what they have leftWe can investigate this

Payslips
  • Storage
  • Links
Can they also have their payslips accessible through the appWe may need to speak with HR but essentially a link to ESR will also cover this
AssessmentsPortfolios
  • Links
  • Syncing
  • Information
They would like to ensure that the App links and syncs with their portfolios similar to Royal college where they have dropdowns to choose which they requireWe can look into his

Sending and receivingProcessThey would like to be able to send and receive their assessments and tickets through the appWe need to investigate the process for each assessment stage

  • ARCP
  • Form R
  • Guidelines by year
  • CCT Date
  • Checklist
  • One portal for Form-R
They would like to have the ARCP and all info on this accessible in one placeWe need to investigate what all this means

Document library
  • Access
  • Storage
They have asked for a storage facility to keep all their assessments and docs in one placeAccess to this (how long) might be an issue

Calendar
  • Interactive
  • Notification
  • Read-only
  • Link
They have asked around notifications and having certain dates put into a calendar so that they know when they need to complete ARCP,s and other tasks to complete the processThis will need to be confirmed by business in regards to who is responsible for what.

Access
  • Permissions
  • Read-only
They have asked if HR and ARCP Panel can have access to certain areas of the app and assessments, as this would make life easier, as HR and the ARCP Panel can get what they need when they need it, as opposed to emailing the trainees for the infoCheck process




















User stories created by Trainees at the Manchester workshop

We asked the trainees to prioritize their top 3 feature requests/functionality which they had added to the wall with Post-its. We then asked them to take these Post-its and write User Stories based on the template we provided to help them to firstly prioritize an MVP and to also establish the value in this choice.
