Choose where you are. Search for a department, doctor, or patient-room number. Follow directions that use familiar landmarks and clear language. Visitors can also check the directory, switch to Español, use step-free routes, and choose “Stay indoors when possible” when the hospital has defined those paths.

Built around the visit

on their minds.
Finding the right hallway shouldn’t be another thing to figure out.
Dad-proof directions.
Familiar landmarks and everyday names. “Blood draw” finds the lab; “brain doctor” brings up Neurology in the Riverview demo.

Larger text. A simpler read.
A dedicated large-text option helps visitors follow the next instruction.
More than getting there
The right place.
The right first stop.
Sometimes the first stop isn’t the department. It’s registration.
Hospital Directions can include where to check in and what needs to happen before a visitor heads to the next location.
In Riverview’s fictional lab example, the app asks about a wristband. Visitors without one are directed to the Information Desk to begin registration before going to the lab.
Your hospital defines the check-in locations and instructions. This guides visitors to check-in; it does not register them or issue a wristband.

Where physical meets digital
Scan and go.
The sign establishes the starting point.
A location-specific QR code tells Hospital Directions where the visitor is starting. They choose a destination and follow the directions in their browser.
No live location tracking is implied: the known starting point comes from the sign or the visitor’s selection.

What if they still get lost? Scan the nearest Hospital Directions sign and keep going. That scan re-establishes the visitor’s known location so the next directions start from where they are now.
A focused approach
Useful wayfinding.
Without the extra layers.
Hospital Directions focuses on curated routes and known starting points—not a larger indoor-location hardware rollout.
No patient account.
No login stands between the visitor and the directions.
No beacon network.
Known locations and curated paths power the core experience.
No medical record needed.
Directions use a starting point and destination, not a patient chart.
From your campus to their phone

Founded by a hospital volunteer
Real-world experience.
Real-world directions.
While volunteering at a children’s hospital in East Tennessee, Matthew Parsons recognized how much friction finding the right place could add to a visit. He founded Hospital Directions to make that next step clearer.
