Wayfinding

Wayfinding is a digital hospital map that improves the patient experience and delivers quality improvement by helping patients navigate their way easily and efficiently around hospital settings.

Why Wayfinding?

Support clinics to run on time

Reduce the opportunity for patients to become lost on route to their appointment

Release staff time

Reduce time spent by staff relaying verbal directions to patients 

 

Support multi-language requirements

Multiple language options support the needs of a diverse population

A patient-centred approach is a core component of our Digital Health Strategy, and the introduction of electronic Wayfinding improves the experience for health consumers.

Provide clear, easy-to-follow maps and directions to clinics and waiting rooms

Provide patients with clear directions

Putting the patient first, Wayfinding provides clear, easy-to-follow maps and directions via self-check-in kiosks, guiding patients to their clinic / destination on time and via the most direct route. Hospitals can choose to have maps and directions integrated into the interactive check-in kiosks, presenting directional information to patients after they have completed their self-check-in, or use standalone interactive kiosks at key locations to display the digital maps to all hospital visitors.

 

Improve operational efficiency

Support clinics to begin and continue to run on time by helping all patients and visitors to locate clinics easily, from multiple entry points around the hospital. Wayfinding also significantly reduces time spent by hospital staff repeating directions to patients on a frequent basis, allowing for more value-added tasks to be completed.

What makes Wayfinding different?

Putting the patient first, Wayfinding provides clear, easy-to-follow maps and directions via self-check-in kiosks, guiding patients to their clinic / destination on time and via the most direct route.

Hospitals can choose to have maps and directions integrated into the interactive check-in kiosks, presenting directional information to patients after they have completed their self-check-in, or use standalone interactive kiosks at key locations to display the digital maps to all hospital visitors. Kiosks can be free-standing (and therefore easily repositionable) or wall mounted (and therefore position-fixed).
