Hospital Wayfinding Specialists
An effective hospital wayfinding system is often under estimated – with costly consequences. It should be seen similarly to having good staff or working equipment. It is a key element in a successful hospital environment.
Wayfinding effects staff moral, customer perception facilities, schedules and ultimately budgets. In recent research undertaken at Melbourne's 430 bed Austin Hospital, poor wayfinding was found to cost an estimated $2.2 million annually. This figure relates to staff time lost through directing patients. Maybe this is why wayfinding is an important factor in Quality Accreditation programs.
