Hospital wayfinding systems helps people save time and energy. When someone is
ill or has had an accident, the visitors want to see the patient fast. If you
work a 9-5 job and have to see the doctor for some reason, it is important for
you to find the doctor in a large hospital campus without any waste of time. An
effective directory allows guests to find the patient rooms and patients to
find the doctor’s room with great ease.
These
days, hospital facilities span over several acres. By deploying an effective
signage system, the campus can draw more traffic to their facilities. During
accidents, it is important for the patient to get emergency services fast.
Exterior signage and city signage allows everyone to get familiar with the
location of the hospital so in case they need to use the facilities for
treatment, they will not get lost on the way.
In
the past, people had to remember the colors of the buildings and other pointers
to find a specific location. They had to stop and ask complete strangers for
directions. Now with easy to understand signage many cities are well connected
and everyone who visits the neighborhood is able to find all city resources
without any level of complexity.
Hospital wayfinding systems include
interior signage, exterior signage and directory systems. Several types of
signs are used to communicate the location of parking lots, buildings,
washrooms, libraries, cafeteria and shops located on site. Signage also
communicates distances from one spot to another. The use of digital directories
makes it easy for users to understand their location and how to get to the
desired destination without getting lost. Exterior signage is lighted at night
to draw more attention. It has to be visible from a distance and increases the
curb appeal of the property.
