Abstract:
Hospitals are indispensable part of our lives when it comes to providing best medical facilities to people suffering from various diseases, disorders or syndromes. Usually, it is a place that in a vast area with lots of buildings and places such as laboratories, wards, pharmacies, etc. In such situation, patients, visitor and even the working staff might find it difficult to find the necessary place they need to be at a particular time. The newest members who join the hospital staff might take a while to be familiarized with the hospital area including all the places in it. When it comes to the Outdoor Patient Department (OPD) patients, they also might have to go several rooms to meet their doctors, or to get X-rays, lab reports, and buy medicine. Having direction boards helps, but it is not always productive. Sometimes people might find it difficult to read when they are not properly maintained by time.
