A healthcare facility isn’t complete without custom signage. Signs provide a healthcare facility with the opportunity to communicate with patients and visitors without verbal interaction. In turn, these signs can help create a better atmosphere and experience. Read on to learn about specific signage options and their benefits in healthcare.
Hospital and Clinic Lobby Signs to Welcome Guests
Instantly welcome visitors and patients with a lobby sign. Go for a modern and sleek acrylic sign, engage guests in a fun way with a colorful wall mural, or display a large-lettered quote on the wall for added flair.
A sign providing a warm welcome or soothing atmosphere can put patients at ease, increase patience among guests, and even improve satisfaction among patients. Not to mention, greeting signs can also add to the general décor of the space, pulling the interior design of your lobby together in a pinch.
Custom Wayfinding Signs for Healthcare Facilities
Finding one’s way around a healthcare facility can be a challenge. Considering most people don’t visit healthcare facilities often, it’s no surprise routing can be intimidating. Wayfinding signs can make navigation a breeze thanks to clear maps, arrows, or written text to aid with finding one’s way around a facility.
Wayfinding doesn’t just provide convenience. These signs also ensure patients are able to easily find the room they’re supposed to go in to get to their appointment on time, help visitors know where to go to see their loved one, and even improve staff members’ abilities to navigate the facility to accelerate job duties and improve patient care.
Signs for ADA and HIPAA Compliance
ADA signage in a healthcare facility creates an inclusive environment for those with disabilities, from visual to hearing impairments. ADA-compliant signs ensure everyone is able to access information facility information and wayfinding directions despite a physical or cognitive setback.
HIPAA signs are another consideration for healthcare facilities to help share important information with patients regarding privacy and confidentiality. These can come in the form of written reminders asking patients not to discuss certain information in a lobby room, inform about a no photo and video policy, or remind staff of their responsibility.
Keeping Patients in the Know with Informational Signage
Whether it be reminding guests of visitor guidelines, patient rights, and responsibilities, hours of operations, or contact information of the different departments in the facility, informational signage can come in handy.
Informational signage can also be effective when placed out the exterior of a healthcare facility. For instance, exterior informational signs can help inform about public transportation information, public health and safety notices, facility policies, or volunteer information that may be critical to know before or after stepping foot into the building.
Streamlining Patient and Visitor Navigation with Parking Signs
Facilitate flow in your parking lot with navigation signs in your parking lot. Keep guests driving in the right direction, parking in the correct spots, or help them locate a nearby parking garage. Parking signs can also display rules like parking hours, towing policies, and drop-off zones.
