Direction

Signage / direction information is really important especially for those who not famaliar with the place. Hospital is not an exceptional, public area where sinages for direction are really important other than information center. Sometimes even with alot of directions signage people will still get lost, so what would happen if there are no direction signages at all. This what was happened to me.

Austin Hospital is really a nice, public friendly hospital. You will see all the signages anyway, on the wall, at any main entrance , on the lifts wall while waiting for the lifts and even it has colored pathway on the floor to show you the way to this building or that building. Really impressed, but still you might even have difficulties to find the place. Anyway the friendly staff will help and show you the way as long as you ask for it.

This is lacking at our place, at my working place or any hospitals even the directions are confusing. As a staff members sometimes I am even not sure how to get to certain places. It was an eye opener to me and a take away important ideas to bring back home. No wonder , Austin Hospital was awarded the Best Health care center for 2006 in the state of Victoria.
