A Good Son and His Mother
Page 2
About JimJim is an only child and his mom, Olivia, has been diagnosed with lung cancer. He is divorced and his dad died several years ago, so he will be alone in helping his mom.
Olivia has been scheduled for surgery in two weeks at the UCLA Health Center. Jim needs to learn what he needs to do in preparation for his mom’s hospital stay and surgery. He also wants to get an Advance Health Directive, just in case.

Jim Begins Investigating

Jim starts at the UCLA Health Homepage. He is pleased to discover a drop down menu for Patients and Visitors with a Preparing for Your Hospital Stay submenu.
Jim starts by looking at the Admissions Information page.

Jim checks out the Ronald Reagan Medical Center Admissions Information page.
He notes he is no longer in the UCLA Health site, and is glad to see a return link in the nav bar.
After doing a quick browse through the left nav bar options and downloading the Admissions Brochure, Jim calls it a day and plans to return tomorrow to investigate further.

Preparing for Surgery Video

Jim watches the video and is quite impressed with Dr. Feinberg. It gives him a greater sense of confi-dence about having his mom come to UCLA Health.
He decides to check out the other videos later.
Now he needs to look at Advance Directives, he clicks on the sidebar nav.

Advance Directives

Jim downloads and prints the Advance Directive form. He is relieved to find the infor-mation and form so easily. It is another burden off his mind.
He sees Create a Care Page in the sidebar nav, he doesn’t know what it is, but it looks worth checking out.

Jim is intrigued and he plans on clicking the logo and signing up. He and his mom have a lot of relatives, and this looks like it will be a great way of letting them all know how Olivia’s surgery and recovery are going.
His attention span is now depleted, so he will return later to continue.

Jim doesn’t see anything immediately relevant, but notices the other pages listed in the sidebar flyout for future reference.
Only one topic left to explore, he collapses the flyout and clicks on Patient Safety in the sidebar nav.

Meeting Jim’s and UCLA’s Goals
Page 15
Jim’s goals were met when he was able to easily find the information he needs to prepare for his mom’s coming hospital stay.
He thought the information was well organized and was pleased that it was easy to find his way from
every page he went to.
UCLA’s goal of Healing Humankind One Person at a Time has certainly been met through Jim’s initial experience with the website.
He feels satisfied with the information he was able to navigate through and did not feel a need to call to find out missing information. Decreasing support calls is another UCLA goal.
Jim and his mom will be checking in for her surgery with a sense of confidence.
It’s hard to ask for more from a website experience.
