Wayfinding Design Maintenance
Maintaining wayfinding design in hospitals is no trivial task. Rarely is proper consideration given to managing situational changes in hospitals that impact patient wayfinding during the setup of wayfinding design. Hospitals deal with various challenges such as department relocations, seasonal influences, renovations, expansions, building maintenance, and emergencies like pandemics, among others.
Successful management depends on the proper arrangement of data storage and data linkages. Inadequate data management leads to a lack of clarity and flexibility, and before you know it, the building may be overwhelmed with paper-based wayfinding instructions.
