One of the most important organizational principles in any healthcare facility is patient room signs. Every room in a hospital, medical practice or healthcare facility needs a number or some sort of identification. That way members of the staff, as well as patients and their family and friends, can easily find their way around, and find the patients and or administrators that they're looking for. Room number signs are one of the best and easiest ways to do this. Ordered by floor, wing, or any other system, room number signs are essential for good organization.

Because room signs are so ubiquitous, they're easy to overlook. But there is no mistaking their essential role in a hospital or care-giving facility. Not only do they direct traffic and give visitors, patients and administrators a reference by which they can navigate the entire building, they also say something about the building. The look of the signs, the feel of them, the font and the special symbols and characters (like braille, or foreign languages) all give the sign, and therefore the room and the whole building, a signature. A sense of character. The best signs are all about accomplishing three goals: being helpful, conveying a clear message, and looking right for the space they're in. We say looking right instead of looking good because for many signs it's much more important that they conform to what the viewer expects (think No Smoking Signs with the image of a lit, dangling cigarette) rather than that they're particularly attractive.

Patient room sign designs can be either/or. For some buildings spartan clarity is what's most important. For others, an attractive room sign is just one more way of welcoming patients and visitors, and making the healthcare facility a little less alien and antiseptic. A good room number sign can accomplish both, looking good and unique, but also being totally clear and professional.
