Current problem statement
It's hard for the entry of Intensive Care Units to be welcoming, secure, and easily findable. We will explore the elements of an ICU’s entry point and find a solution that will make it easier to find and welcoming, but still secure. It needs to incorporate clear, simple way finding, as well as communicate important directions or concerns to both the first time visitor, as well as the repeat visitors - who may have different needs.We plan on focusing our attentions on adult ICUs.

Draft outline for the final report
Project will explore progressive concepts for ICU entrance, including the doors and access sytem, as well as utilization of RFID & computer touch screen to welcome and strategically communicate to the visitor, grant access, and maintain security. Physically we anticipate having a 3/4 size visual of the access doors, as well as a working mockup of the patient interaction screen mounted in a kiosk. Supplemental materials will illustrate and expand on the ideas & principles behind the display.
