AIIMS CAPFIMS: Enhancing Wayfinding and Patient Experience

In today’s fast-paced healthcare environment, effective hospital signages are not just a design element – they are a necessity. At AIIMS CAPFIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Central Armed Police Forces Institute of Medical Sciences), clarity, safety, and accessibility are of the highest importance. Our team had the privilege to execute a comprehensive signage project for this premier healthcare institute, ensuring that patients, visitors, and staff can navigate the facility with ease and confidence.

Why Signages Matter in Healthcare Facilities

Large healthcare campuses like AIIMS CAPFIMS often span multiple departments, wards, and service areas. Without a well-planned wayfinding solution, patients and their families may face unnecessary stress trying to locate critical departments. Proper signage ensures:

• Smooth navigation across different floors and buildings

• Emergency readiness, guiding people quickly to critical care units

• Enhanced patient experience, reducing confusion and waiting times

• Brand consistency, with designs that reflect the institution’s identity

Recognizing these factors, our team designed and installed custom hospital signages aligned with the unique requirements of AIIMS CAPFIMS.

Scope of Our Signage Project at AIIMS CAPFIMS

Our work at AIIMS CAPFIMS included a mix of directional, informational, safety, and identity signages. Each element was carefully planned to meet the needs of a high-footfall healthcare environment.

• External Signages: Large, high-visibility boards for entry points and parking areas, ensuring smooth access for patients and emergency vehicles.

• Wayfinding Signages: Clear and bilingual (English & Hindi) directional signs across lobbies, corridors, lifts, and staircases to assist visitors.

• Departmental & Room Signages: Customized boards for OPDs, ICUs, labs, and administrative offices, designed for durability and easy readability.

• Safety & Compliance Signages: Emergency exits, fire safety markers, and regulatory signs installed as per healthcare compliance standards.

Each signage was manufactured using high-quality materials that are long-lasting, easy to clean, and designed to withstand continuous usage in a hospital setting.

Our Approach: Design, Clarity & Durability

For a prestigious institute like AIIMS CAPFIMS, our approach was to balance aesthetic appeal with functional clarity. We followed international best practices in healthcare signage design, focusing on:

• Legible typography and icons for quick understanding

• Color coding for different departments and zones

• Anti-glare and hygienic materials suitable for hospital environments

• Consistency in branding to match AIIMS CAPFIMS identity

The result was a seamless wayfinding system that simplifies navigation while reinforcing the institute’s image as a world-class medical facility.

Impact of the Project

Since the installation, AIIMS CAPFIMS has benefited from:

• Reduced confusion for patients and visitors

• Better staff efficiency as less time is spent guiding people

• A more professional, organized campus environment

• Compliance with safety and accessibility norms

This project reflects our commitment to delivering end-to-end signage solutions for hospitals and healthcare institutions across India.

Conclusion

The signage project at AIIMS CAPFIMS stands as a strong example of how well-designed hospital signages can improve patient care, operational efficiency, and overall visitor experience. As India continues to invest in advanced healthcare infrastructure, the role of strategic signage solutions will only grow in importance.
