Building Wisconsin’s Virtual ADRC Resource Portal: A Roadmap to Accessibility and Collaboration, Acquia & Palantir
Discover how Palantir.net partnered with Wisconsin’s Department of Health Services (DHS) to unify 9,300+ resources from 54 Aging & Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) and 11 Tribal Nation ADRCs into a single, user-friendly application for the Acquia-based DHS Drupal Platform. We’ll walk through the project’s lifecycle—from defining stakeholder needs and conducting user research, to implementing key features like “Find My Local,” advanced filtering, and a custom “My Resource List” for printing. You’ll learn how agile sprints, frequent feedback loops, and WCAG 2.0 AA compliance shaped a solution that reduces staff workload and empowers Wisconsin residents to self-service. This talk will provide actionable insights on orchestrating collaboration, validating design decisions through user testing, and delivering a scalable, Drupal-based digital service.
