Hi, I'm Dani Nordin. I help product teams unpack big, gnarly problems 🧶 with design strategy that helps them explore new markets 🧳 and bring together disconnected silos.

Right now, I'm the Product Design Architect for athenaClinicals at athenahealth, working on a range of strategic initiatives including specialty support, EHR Configurability, and Clinical Content. I also chair the Clinician Experience Workgroup for the HIMSS EHRA.

I also write and say things in front of people, online and in person.

Exposing the link between EHR configuration and Clinician Experience

I led an internal discovery initiative to clarify the link between EHR configuration, feature adoption, and provider satisfaction - which resulted in changes to how we measure release awareness, improvements to release documentation, and a new initiative to define what "optimal configuration" might look like.

Defining an offering for Surgical Centers

I joined forces with Lorie Lin, a seasoned PM in Clinicals, to discover and define a purpose-built ASC solution. Over the course of a summer, we created a clear human-centered vision for the product, crafted a now/next/later roadmap, and worked with leadership to align teams and resources around the vision.

Working with Product and Engineering partners, I oversaw an initiative to lay out a design strategy and feature roadmap for improving the experience of high-volume specialty clients. The resulting experience vision helped inform a 3-5 year business plan and roadmap for Orthopedics clients.
