Peterborough, ON – We are pleased to announce that the MazeMap digital wayfinding system is now live at Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC).
This new, GPS-enabled tool supports wayfinding within the hospital, starting with a new touchscreen kiosk inside the Main Entrance, or one of four additional touchscreens in key locations throughout the hospital building.
Find your way using MazeMap
- Tap the touchscreen to get started.
- Search for or add the location you are looking for.
- A map and the best route for you to take will pop up.
- (Optional) Scan the code on the screen to add the directions to your phone.
Using a personal device to access directions is completely optional, and is not required to use the MazeMap system. If you do choose this option, you are encouraged to connect to the “PRHC Guest” Wi-Fi network. This will allow the MazeMap system to determine which floor you are on to best guide you to your destination.
Patients and visitors who are using personal devices are also encouraged to download the MazeMap app and search for Peterborough Regional Health Centre to support improved navigation through the hospital.
“Peterborough Regional Health Centre is a 715,000-square-foot regional referral hospital, and we’ve heard your feedback about how challenging it can be to navigate our hallways – whether you’re coming for an appointment, as a support person, or to visit a loved one,” says Evan Lyons, VP, Digital Services, Strategy & Planning and Chief Information Officer.
“Technology plays a significant role in the overall healthcare experience, and we are committed to finding new ways to transform technology to support patients and provide the best possible care and experience at PRHC. Our goal with the digital MazeMap system is to help make your time at the hospital just a bit easier by providing more and better information, right at your fingertips.”
