Fix Your Healthcare Wayfinding System

According to a recent study, 30% of first-time hospital visitors get lost in the labyrinth of corridors, wings, and offices in a medical center. This is more than just a minor inconvenience. It’s detrimental to health and costly for institutions.

Healthcare wayfinding issues can be stressful for visitors. Being disoriented or lost only exacerbates what may already be an anxiety-producing situation. The frustration of getting lost is ranked among the top complaints by visitors to healthcare facilities—one that may keep them from going to the hospital should they need care.

And, ineffective wayfinding signage is also costly. Doctors, nurses, and administrative staff taking time to help direct visitors and missed appointments all add up to significant hidden costs to an institution over time.

Despite the numerous studies on the importance of healthcare wayfinding systems, many institutions approach it as an afterthought.
