- I was interested and immediately clicked on some of the excel graphs.
-The website was complicated - not intuitive.
-Utah Department of Health general mailing address and phone number would
be very difficult for seniors.
- With what I have learned about marketing - and taking into account that
everyone has different color preferences - the "look" of the home
page is rather drab, and therefore it doesn't "draw you in" or
entice you to read more. It has more of an institutional look/feel rather
than a "consumer" appeal which is your target audience.
- Yes
-Not bad.
- I don't know if i'd say flowing - it was easy to read...but a lot to
read. The graphs are still complex for everyday person. (not necessarly
complex - but the indicators weren't described well - and not sure most
folks would relate to charges.
-The first page of the report was clear and all of the white space was nice.
The titles and headings are easy to read. The text itself is a bit light
and "lacey."
-The people are small and far away... Not accessible.
-Home page/consumer reports... Line is hard to read.
- Yes
-Yes, the only suggestion i have is that perhaps make the font a jet black.
It seems gray to me and a little difficult to read.
-The introduction - senate bill blah blah blah seems a little bland.
- Ok - but can get into too may 'read more' links.
- Brief description with link is useful.
- It is - provided it doesn't get overdone. I have felt on many sites that
i have been to so many "links" that i have lost track of my original
subject.
- Yes, you don't want too much info on one page and make your reader scroll
and scroll and scroll....
- I like this format but i would add one more sentence to each of the brief
descriptions.
- See above - it could if the indicators were explained. Why would hosp
charges be important to someone...and there is so much goobly gook mixed
into hosp charges - it is hard to distinguish for the average person (those
charges may not have meaning related to quality of care). .
- Data seemed clear and understandable and i think when all the names are
there, it will be good. However, the areas where you explained some "qualifications"
about the data may get missed. I wonder if some of that could be "linked"
at the data point itself
- Yes. If you're selecting based on price...
- Yes. Love data. It is clear and would be very helpful to consumers. It's
like the dots in consumer reports.
- Link took me to another website - that's fine, but sometimes i get 'distracted'
on the new website and don't come back!
-"read more" segments - good link with useful information.
- Yes
- Useful, but when i select read more, it brings me to the middle of the
page.
- The info seemed useful. The knee one is especially helpful with all of
the graphics (pictures).
- Glad to have it out there!
- Nice work.
- Yes, the tables would make me think twice about some of the hospitals.
- Looks good.
