Hospitals and medical centers have been centers of intense activity during the pandemic, while your frontline employees have spent untold added hours within patient care facilities. The demands placed on your staff and your physical spaces have been unprecedented. As the country makes plans to move forward with a renewed sense of optimism, this may be the time to consider changes – from a refresh of your spaces to practical upgrades in critical areas to overdo maintenance of your exterior signs.
Critical Signage: Wayfinding, Directionals and Instructives
Have your buildings undergone changes in response to the uptick in patients over the past year? This may be an ideal time for a review of your critical signs such as wayfinding and directionals. An initial consideration should be to determine how well your wayfinding and directional signage performed during times of increased capacity.
- Were patients, visiting staff, and EMTs able to easily navigate your interior and exterior spaces?
- Were there changes to the floorplan resulting from the need for added rooms and critical care areas, or to the parking areas?
- Have new protocols been put into place that requires clear and immediate communication?

wayfinding specialists that will walk through your facility and help with comprehensive plans to ensure your signage can speed people to their destination – whether in parking lots and structures, on exterior health campuses, or within your buildings.
