Signs Can Help You Find Your Way When Entering a Hospital

wayfinding systems, hospital signsHave you ever experienced this common scenario? You are visiting someone at the hospital. You know their room number but you are unfamiliar with the building because you've never been there. The outside of the building is properly marked and you have found the parking garage with little to no problems. Once out of the car, you can't see any directional signs anywhere. You think to yourself this may just be a problem in the garage.

Once you find your way inside the hospital, you look around for a directory sign or any kind of directional sign but you just can't find your way. Luckily, the receptionist is able to direct you, using pen and paper, to the patient room. You are kind of frazzled once you arrive at the patient’s room you came to see but still able to enjoy your visit.

Now, imagine this!  What if the patient was your immediate family and it was an emergency and you were unfamiliar with the hospital? You are already frightened, concerned and confused when you enter the building and the last thing you want is escalated frustration with poor directional signs or even worse, no directional signs.  What if the receptionist was on the phone and unavailable to help you or maybe not at her desk?  Where do you turn?
