Description

Background

The Patients Before Paperwork (Pb4P) initiative is a comprehensive program aimed at reducing the administrative burden on Primary Care Providers in Ontario through the use of digital tools and processes. This initiative supports both new and existing digital health projects that work together to minimize traditional paper‑based workflows, such as faxing referrals and prescriptions, writing clinical notes and manually completing forms.

The purpose of this request is to acquire a resource to support and deliver assigned CX/UX activities and artifacts across one or more Pb4P workstreams, working under the direction of CX/UX Leads and/or Senior Managers. The resource will collaborate with users, business, clinical, product, change management, technical and vendor partners to gather qualitative and quantitative insights,



validate workflows and support user‑centred product and service design outcomes that help reduce administrative burden for clinicians and health care providers.
