AHA Endorsement:

Wayfinding

"Having explored several wayfinding/signage vendors, we’ve found CS&G to be a valued resource. We rely on them to solve problems in a creative and attractive manner." – John E. Morkavich, MS, Director, Materials Management, St. Anthony’s Medical Center, St. Louis, MO

Few factors have more impact on hospital visitors and patients than the ease with which they can find their way around the facility. Hospitals often expand organically, reorganizing floor plans to address shifting space and needs requirements. Trying to navigate through a maze of hospital corridors can be frustrating for patients and visitors, negatively impacting performance as well as profits.“Lost” patients or visitors can delay the entire day’s schedule, slow down patient discharges, delay patient transport, bed turnovers and other activities in the process. Wayfinding becomes challenging, and risk is increased as a result of inconsistent, outdated, or poorly designed wayfinding solutions.

Why We Endorsed Wayfinding from Cooper Signage & Graphics

Cooper Signage & Graphics provides a comprehensive solution from initial consultation and design through manufacture and implementation. CS&G also investigates existing and projected user patterns, adapting or replacing signage as needed to deliver a customized solution. Operating almost exclusively in the health care market, CS&G was ranked nationally within the top five sign companies in 2006, 2007, and 2008 by Healthcare Building Ideas Magazine. CS&G wayfinding solutions support financial efficiencies by helping to avoid costly litigation resulting from the safety risk posed by lost patients and visitors, the frequent need to direct those who are lost, and the processing of complaints due to poor and inconsistent wayfinding information.
