Promoting walkways, removing bottlenecks

Patients and visitors are informed about the more attractive routes in and outside healthcare buildings.

• First, routes are clarified on a map and described. Walks are mentioned in terms of time, steps or distance.

•  Second, there can be a follow-up after getting feedback from visitors and staff. They make a list of the OK’s and the no-ways in walking in the hospital and its grounds.

• Small bottlenecks can be communicated and solved. Attractive walking possibilities stimulate patients to be more out of bed.

No pyjamas but sturdy shoes and comfortable clothing advised. Time goes faster when people are active.
