Patient Experience and Wayfinding

How navigation affects how patients and visitors feel during hospital visits.

Experience starts before the appointment

Patient experience does not begin in the consultation room. It begins the moment someone arrives at the hospital. Navigation, signage and ease of movement all play a role in how someone feels.

If visitors feel lost or confused, stress levels increase. If they feel confident and supported, the experience becomes calmer and more positive.
