Corbin Design President Mark VanderKlipp will partner with Barbara Natal, Project Manager for Campus Development at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, to provide healthcare professionals with a case study on developing interactive kiosks for healthcare environments.

The presentation will take place at the 20th Annual Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo at Chicago’s Navy Pier, at 9:15 AM October 3.

Learning objectives for the case study include:

• Ways to garner staff and public support for an interactive kiosk as part of a larger healthcare campus wayfinding effort;
• Best practices for working with a consultant to develop interactive wayfinding kiosks, from concept to final programming and implementation; and
• How and why kiosk wayfinding information should be coordinated with more traditional wayfinding and other communications like a public website.

A more detailed description of the presentation is available here. A 20-page brochure describing the conference and all of its programs is available in PDF format here. (The brochure’s presentation description is on page 11.)

Corbin Design is working with Northwestern Memorial Hospital on a range of interior and exterior wayfinding projects involving the new one-million-square-foot Prentice Women’s Hospital, including a series of interactive wayfinding kiosks that are being incorporated into a system of more traditional signage elements.

Northwestern Memorial Hospital is nationally recognized as one of the country's leading teaching hospitals and its medical specialties are consistently ranked among the nation’s best by U.S. News & World Report magazine. The new Prentice Women’s Hospital facility scheduled to open later this year will offer a dedicated women’s health center, inpatient and outpatient diagnostic services, the capacity for up to 13,600 births per year and one of the largest neonatal intensive care units in the nation.

Corbin Design is one of the nation’s leading providers of wayfinding analysis and signage system design. Since its founding in 1976, the firm has completed hundreds of projects for health care, educational, governmental and corporate clients across the country. A partial list of Corbin Design’s wayfinding clients includes Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, University Health Network in Toronto, Clarian Health facilities across Indiana, Penn State University, the cities of Atlanta, Indianapolis and Los Angeles, and General Motors.
