wants to dedicate their energy and craft to
improving the lives of physicians and hospital
staff. Our client, a small, well-funded startup
working to bring solid user experience design and
modern technology to hospital electronic medical
records, is hiring a UX Researcher to establish
and drive an iterative research process that can
be integrated into an Agile development and
design environment. This is an opportunity to
define how both generative and evaluative
research methods can be used to create and
continually improve a great product. This can't
be done without talking with and observing
hospital staff, so they will give you access to
hospitals to complete contextual
research.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =
