The redesign of the QualityNet Portal (QNP) was the first major update to occur to the website in over 10 years with a goal of a new Human Centered Design (HCD) aimed at providing an enhanced user experience. QNP 2.0's replacement of QNP 1.0 (which used Oracle Fatwire) now uses a headless content management system (H-CMS) in a addition to the new public interface.  The redesign of QNP consolidates existing stove-piped CCSQ quality reporting program features and functionalities into reusable, scalable, flexible enterprise services for quality reporting programs for healthcare providers and their supporting vendors. QualityNet’s new responsive design allows users to easily view the website on a variety of devices (desktop, tablet, and mobile) and from multiple web browsers. QNP 2.0 was released into production on September 25, 2019.

As a result of user research and usability testing, the website has been restructured for greater to achieve consistency and scalability, faster page loading, simplified and more intuitive navigation, and improved accessibility. Web pages have been reorganized and consolidated to help users more quickly locate key program resources, such as specifications manuals and measure sets. At the same time, older archived materials that are no longer relevant or useful (e.g. pre-2012) have been removed to maximize the website’s relevance and responsiveness.

The redesigned QualityNet site provides the user with a more fluid, user friendly experience and improved ability to manage and navigate content more efficiently. These enhancements have been made to ensure that QualityNet will continue to serve the user community in a secure, reliable manner.    QNP 2.0 was released into production on September 25, 2019.
