Planning & Wayfinding

Unfamiliar environments can increase a feeling of anxiety and insecurity for first time visitors. Signs should empower visitors and create a feeling of confidence. Improperly designed hospital signage can negatively impact an otherwise well-intentioned facility. Wayfinding programs can improve the patient/visitor experience and increase staff productivity. A good wayfinding program is an essential element of a successful healthcare facility and must comply with ADA, JCAHO, and State Health regulations. Sign System Solutions partners with facility architects and managers to create an effective wayfinding program.

Signs also provide the "first impression" of a facility's image. Your signs should direct and inform as needed, but should also compliment your architectural environment and decor. We strive to create an effective wayfinding system that balances elements from your environment with proper directional information.

Our unique approach begins with a comprehensive analysis of your facility. We'll identify the wayfinding challenges and address the needs and goals of each client. After a complete analysis, we develop a strategic wayfinding proposal that’s appropriate to your unique environment. By utilizing the space and design characteristics of a given space, we create a navigational system that is both user friendly and graphically pleasing.
