Wayfinding Systems for Hospitals and Medical Facilities in North Jersey

Posted by Gary Baron on Fri, Mar 26, 2021 @ 11:46 AM

Are you the operations manager for a busy healthcare facility? Maybe you have been tasked with creating a wayfinding signage setup that helps guide patients around a clinic, hospital, or convalescent center with minimal assistance. The Sign Center can help with customized wayfinding systems for hospitals in North Jersey.

Wall-Mounted Blade Signs Pinpoint Destinations along the Corridors

Identify the locations of the most sought-after offices, retail locations, and labs that are part of your facility’s footprint. For example, it is easy to guide patients to the pharmacy with custom blade signs for wayfinding.

By mounting them to the wall close to the ceiling, you ensure that people have a clear line of sight even if the corridors are crowded. We recommend the customization of the insertable information panel to correspond to the hospital’s color-coding for different departments or the brand tones you use for other signs.

Ceiling-Suspended Wayfinding Signs for Specific Areas

When wall-mounted blades are impractical, ceiling-suspended signage makes the most sense. Once again, you might color-coordinate the sign’s backdrop with the hues of the areas it designates. High-contrast print color is advantageous because it makes these signs easy to read even from a long distance away.

Our technicians can use airplane cables or chains to mount the signs. Moreover, it is possible to add reflective vinyl overlays that allow night lighting to make the markers stand out.

Directory and Wayfinding Signs Near Entrances and Department Wings

Our facility clients favor wall-mounted directories with changeable panels. They allow for changes as room uses switch. Besides that, they are fully customizable with background color and print. Adding arrows as part of the wayfinding setup makes sense because it provides visual cues.

Combine the directories with the blade-mounted wayfinding signs that underscore the locations the directory points toward. We recommend using the blade signs in addition to room signage flush-mounted to the wall because it encourages the patient to stay on course.

Wayfinding Towers for Elevator Banks

A relative newcomer to the choices is the wayfinding tower. Think of a narrow retractable banner sign with a banner. However, unlike the banner, the tower supports an imprinted panel on each side and does not retract. Clients prefer to use these signs near elevators to highlight the offices and departments as well as the floors that they are on. You might then pinpoint floor-specific locations with a nearby wall-mounted directory.

How to Order Wayfinding Systems for Hospitals in North Jersey

Facility signage orders sound complicated, but we can make it easy. Connect with our specialists to schedule a site survey. At that time, we visit your facility, inventory the areas where you want to install signage, keep a running count of the different products you need, and make sure we get the arrow directions right.

We also assist you with color choices, font selections, and the inclusion of logos if needed. At that time, you might also consider optional add-ons. Examples include anti-glare screens or laminates, Braille II dots, and optional built-in illumination.
